Timeless classic
I will never forget when I watched the video of "Sparky's Dream" on TV, years ago. I sit there through the whole song hypnotized and by the end I ran to the computer to find out more about these guys. I had heard of them before, but never listened to a song.

When I put my ears on Grand Prix, it was like being sent on vacations. Each and every song has a beautiful melody and brilliant lyrics.

And still today when I listen to the album, it makes me want to tell everybody how good it is. And that's why I'm writing this review.

One of the half dozen best albums of the 90s
There's already a couple of well-written reviews here and there's not a lot I can add, except to say that this album is special to me and it's always one you can come back to whenever you feel you feel you're losing your faith in music to make you FEEL something. It's not quite perfect, but it's not far short. And when it peaks with About You, Sparky's Dream and Don't Look Back, it's simply gorgeous. It's an album that has enough power to define certain times and places when you listened to it. It reminds me most of walking across the small island where I live in Hong Kong a couple of years ago: a warm, sunny Sunday morning, sea all around, other islands dotted around in the South China Sea, on my way to meet some friends. When music can preserve a moment in time, it's priceless. This is priceless. It's beautiful.

Best Fanclub Album
I was first turned on to these guys when I was in middle school (over 10 years ago) and I love them as much today. This is by far their best album for listen ability throughout. I love 'Bandwagonesque' as well, but there are a few throwaways on that album. This is easy-listening rock at it's best. I recommend this album if you know anything about rock.

Best Band - You Don't Know!
This album is great. From beginning to end. If you don't know now you know. Listen to all the other great reviews for more confirmation! It's great mix of music you recognize, and songs that will have you listening to more. If you don't own a Teenage Fanclub album, this should be your first. You'll be going back for more. While other albums may be hits and misses. This one is a deff. HIT!

One of my all time faves
This is a fantastic album. The fact that 5 star reviews are still being submitted over 10 years after its release (and they're not the beatles or u2 or anything) should speak volumes. I have played this CD countless times over the years and I am amazed that I am not sick of it. I am a pretty constant consumer of new music. Get this CD - you won't regret it! (PS I've never done an Amazon review before, but the fact that this has had only 22 motivated me). It is melodic, catchy, uplifting and cheeky - in short, a little piece of musical bliss.
