    Boy oh boy, do I love this album!Incredible melodies, profound lyrics, great vocals. It blows away most of the "alternacrap" of the 90's; that's for sure...

    so effervescent and timeless, it's almost as good as the stone roses' debut. you must have this album to be a music fan.

Pro Reviews: La's

  • All Music Guide

    The La's were one of the few English alternative groups to keep traditional British guitar-pop alive during the late '80s and early '90s. Drawing heavily from the punchy British Invasion sound of early Beatles, the Hollies, the Searchers and Small Faces, the group's eponymous debut is a swirling array of ringing guitar hooks and strong, undeniable pop melodies. Throughout the record, chief songwriter Lee Mavers turns out small, well-crafted gems, highlighted by the hit single "There She Goes," whose jangling hooks and sighing melodies simply scratch the surface of the abundance of pleasures on the record. While Mavers claimed at the time that the label forced him to release The La's, it's hard to imagine the record being any more infectious. As it stands, The La's was a refreshing slice of classicist guitar-pop at the time of its release, and its charms have not faded over the years.

Biography

The La's

When the La's released their debut album in 1990, it made immediate waves in the British pop scene, as well as American college radio. Drawing from the hook-laden, ringing guitars of mid-'60s British pop as well as the post-punk pop of the Smiths, the La's self-titled first album had a timeless, classic feel. It seemed like effortless music, yet that was not the case. F... Read more
