Customer Reviews of Grand Prix
Blissful, sun-kissed summer soundtrack.... Teenage Fanclub are so good I can't believe they've failed to break out of indieworld and into the bigtime - still, that's the (lack of) taste of the record-buying public for you. Grand Prix is their best album so far, just shading Bandwagonesque for sheer loveliness. As ever, the Gerry Love songs are the best. The man is a songwriting genius, and if you thought Noel Gallagher was good, just listen to Gerry's efforts on this one - Sparky's Dream, Don't Look Back, Discolite and the gorgeous Going Places - the mono-browed one would kill to write songs like these. Grand Prix mines that seam of melodious guitar pop, sixties style, better than any other 90s album I can think of. Think Byrds, Beach Boys, Big Star, even REM, for that lovely sunny vibe - all jangly guitars and three part harmonies. The album is a bit patchy because of the democratic split in songwriting duties - in all honesty Raymond McGinlay should stick to just playing guitar, but Norman's efforts are pretty good, Tears undoubtedly the best of them. Buy Grand Prix NOW! - it makes the sun shine, even in winter.
One of the BEST albums of the 1995-2000 era!
Teenage Fanclub's Grand Prix is a Power-Pop masterpiece! Anyone who is a fan of the Beatles, Big Star, the Posies, or Badfinger needs this album.
"Sparky's Dream" has to be one of the best two or three single songs of the nineties. It is cathartic and rockin'! "Neil Jung", and "Don't Look Back" aren't far behind it.
"Mellow Doubt", and "Tears" are fantastic ballads!
It's a shame that Teenage Fanclub aren't that well known. They really deserve to be as well known as the Beatles, Led Zepplin, Lynyrd Skynyrd, or the Eagles. They are really that good!
Well worth $7.98 -- or $17.98 for that matter
Ignore the unfortunate album title and cover art; this is a solid album, the best "under $10" disc I've seen yet.
Teenage Fanclub writes sincere, buoyant, straight-ahead power pop very much in the Big Star tradition, with lots of vocal harmonies and big blocky guitar chords.
I prefer Grand Prix over everyone's usual favorite album, Bandwagonesque. On Grand Prix, Òthe FanniesÓ explore a bit wider musical range, pen lyrics a bit more articulate and imaginative, and lose the "high school gymnasium" sound. This album is infinitely clearer and more vivid without losing the band's punch.
"Sparky's Dream" is this album's trump card -- ecstatic, near-perfect power pop that positively beams, far and away the best song they've ever written.
Raymond McGinleyÕs songwriting falls far short of Gerry Love and Norman BlakeÕs, as usual, but the 9 Love/Blake songs here make this well worth your time.
