Editorial Reviews

From Amazon.co.uk
And so, by 1990, it seemed that no band in Britain remembered harmonies and jangly guitars and The Beatles and playing tapes backwards and psychedelic pop except The La's. And the La's weren't doing much about it--they spent so long in the studio moving faders up and down a millimetre that Go! Discs had to break into the studio, steal the tapes and release the album against the band's wishes. Chief La Lee Mavers still asserts The La's is a mess; nothing like he'd intended, but to everyone else in the universe it sounds glorious: with it's chiming Byrds-ian guitars and flat Mersey back-beat, "Timeless Melody" is the most aptly named song since Dodgy's "Good Enough;" and as the 60 million cover-versions constantly prove, "There She Goes" is the loveliest smack ode since the Strangler's "Golden Brown". The rest is never less than classic, whatever it's creator might mutter into his pint. --Caitlan Moran

Chronique amazon.fr
Comme de nombreux groupes pop anglais du début des années 90, les La's créèrent l'événement, avant d'être vite oubliés. Le groupe est principalement connu pour le single "There She Goes", mais l'album The La's est plein de chansons délicieusement discordantes et admirablement composées. Il mérite que l'on s'y attarde au-delà du hit qu'il contient. Le chanteur compositeur Lee Mavers est le principal responsable du succès et de l'échec de cet album. Par perfectionnisme, il a fini par stopper la dynamique du disque avec ses changements de personnel, de nombreux réenregistrements des titres et une obsession du détail qui entraîna de nombreux retards pour sa sortie. Mais sa quête de perfection a presque réussi : pratiquement toutes les chansons auraient pu devenir des singles à succès. Un classique de la pop anglaise devenu culte. --Beth Bessmer
