U.K. quintet is primed to
blast onto the American scene with initial modern rock track "Creep," a
tense, guitar-dominated number that appears in unexpurgated form on this
debut album. Certain tracks here may remind listeners of U2 (thanks largely
to Thom E. Yorke's vocal mannerisms and overall guitar texturing), but
lyrics have enough bite to make it on their own. "Ripcord," "I Can't,"
and "Blow Out" all contain excitement enough to heat up at target radio
markets.
