Album Notes & Community Reviews
Orange Juice's second album drastically polishes their early indie pop sound, incorporating prominent Roland TB-303 synthesizers and slick, infectious funk rhythms. 'Rip It Up' is a remarkably playful, wonderfully eclectic new wave record that seamlessly blends Edwyn Collins' highly sentimental, slightly apathetic croon with deeply energetic, danceable Britfunk grooves.
