Abandoned Shopping Trolley Hotline - Gomez

I am reviewing Abandoned Shopping Trolley Hotline by Gomez which is a very good album. I am sure the butler in the Adams Family was called Gomez & they must be named after him. On the back of the album is a photo of a sign with the album title & a phone number which must have inspired the album title. I think a lot of this album is about how western society has decayed. The music is alternative music which would probably be called rock or maybe grunge in America. They're not the most tunefull band but there songs are catchy in a funny sort of way. The best track on the album is Buena Vista & there is a good cover of The Beatles, Getting Better. There first album won the Mercury Award & I think this album is almost as good. That album incidently is Bring It On & is worth a listen.
