Discs had to break into the studio, steal the tapes and release the album against the band's wishes. The rest is never less than classic, whatever it's creator might mutter into his pint. --Caitlan Moran.

ReviewsIncluded in Q Magazine's "90 Best Albums of the 1990s.", "..Full of Pretty Melodies, Clean Rock Guitars, and Liverpudlian Accents."-Rating: A+, 9 out of 10 - "...There's magic in these songs....If you don't know the album already, and you're even remotely interested in guitar pop, then its purchase is an absolute necessity...", "...One of the few triumphs of British guitar music to emerge in the troubled years between the demise of The Smiths and the rise of Britpop...", Ranked #44 in Q's "Best 50 Albums of Q's Lifetime", 5 stars out of 5 - "...The music has aged beautifully....the kind of mindboggling suite that many groups would use to bookend a career...", 4 stars out of 5 -- "Glory in the timeless effervescence of The La's, still sounding as fresh and exciting as ever."
This is a classic guitar pop, massively influential in its day. You know There She Goes, but Timeless Melody is even better. Must have for fans of English guitar pop.
