Has anyone else had a listen to Shed Seven's new album "A Matter of Time". I think it's quite impressive and probably their best yet. The closing track has (lyrical) shades of "Mis-Shapes" - "We're not part of the crowd but we'll keep rising ... we won't tow the line ... we won't change our ways", anyone? It sounds like more of an acceptance whereas "Mis-Shapes" is an all-out war. I have never rated Shed Seven as much as Pulp but bought some of their material back in the day and I have seen them live a couple of times. Still a decent enough band at the end of the day.

I think it's more impressive that they have just achieved their first number 1 album considering they weren't quite as big as Pulp, Blur, Suede etc. I know that record sales are totally different now but for a band whose biggest hit just scraped into the top 10, it's pretty good.
