Product Description

The Steve Miller Band of the 90s has made a small impression with this irresistible package. Crammed full of great riffs and licks, tight playing and singing with enthusiasm. The title track together with the wry 'Little Miss Can't Be Wrong' were both hit singles in the wake of the excellent 'Two Princes', one of the few occasions where the cliche of rhyming 'baby' with 'maybe' was completely acceptable. Unpretentious rock music for the 90s and a memorable debut, that they could never come near again.

Customer Reviews

Doctors orders
I borrowed this record from a friend and believe me, I could'nt stop playin it, it grooooooves.
The more I listened, the more I rated this band.
This may be their best album, I don't know but it's more than worth five stars.
One critic said it loses focus towards the end...bollox, It just gets even more indulgent and rocks.
There are also three more bonus tracks on this album other than stated, including Sweet widow, Yo momas and Stepped on a crack live.
What a BONUS, what value...... great MUSIC.

Great Debut Album
The Spin Doctors were one of the better rock bands of the nineties and Pocket Full Of Kryptonite an excellent debut album. Great value.

Curate's Egg
Unless you have the eyesight of Superman, let alone the aversion to Kryptonite, the sleeve notes on the insert to this CD are virtually impossible to read so it is hard to ascertain quite who did what. The songs have a loose tightness about them - Aaron Comess' drumming is crisp and technically inspiring (I particularly like the tight batter-head sound of the snare) and the band's musical knife-thrust has obviously been well honed by pub and club experience. But the album degenerates into self-indulgence in the latter tracks and becomes frankly boring.
Chris Barron's vocals have a husky blues feel about them both in sound and in the almost rigid adherence to the flattened third and seventh of the blues scale - a bit like Morrisey but with another octave thrown in!
I guess this is one for the fans, but the album would have better had the editing process been more ruthless before publication.
