When I curate and reshuffle my 100 best albums … on a far too regular basis – this album is always top 3 if not 1. Maybe it should be Top 100 Most Enjoyable albums because the sheer joy I get every time I hear this is immeasurable.
I appreciate Pet Sounds, Revolver and Exile but this album and the thought that in the previous 12 months the band were on the crest of such an incredible creative wave only adds to the appreciation. For sheer enjoyment I’d pick Leftism, Screamadelica, House of Love or Beyond the Ultraworld any day of the week. When it comes to Killer No Filler you only have to take out Elizabeth to be left with an album of 100% killer.
