Boasting the enduringly brilliant single 'Starry Eyes', this debut is often hailed as a definitive classic of the late-70s British power pop explosion. The album pairs incredibly sharp, jangling guitar hooks with pristine vocal harmonies and wryly cynical lyrics detailing music industry frustrations. Although they struggled to maintain mainstream momentum, the record's immaculate pop craftsmanship has secured its legendary cult status.
