politics and NME can't get enough of it!). I have no trouble saying that _Snivilisation_ is their finest album. It certainly contains the widest variety in the tracks ... and seemed to balance pop with experimentation perfectly. Hummable tunes with bits of in-yer-face attitude. Which, to say the least, _In Sides_ was sorely lacking. _Middle of Nowhere_ is growing on me, but I can't see playing it as often as some of their other stuff. The tone of the album is a bit too cohesive and similar. And I liked their songs more when the lyrics were non-sensical (although Otono isn't all bad, just the damn words screw it up). J np: _Middle of Nowhere_ which I am sure will sound better live! "No rose without a thorn.
