专辑介绍
by Dan LeRoy
Midway through the career of Biff Bang Pow!, future rock impresario Alan McGee finally came up with a batch of songs worthy of his '60s Brit-pop jones, and the result is the band's most consistent and charming album. The first 20 minutes in particular, with cues taken from both gentle, folky psychedelia (&She's Got Diamonds in Her Hair&) and the paint-splattered mod rave-ups of the Creation (&A Girl Called Destruction,& which explodes into a feedback solo), find McGee and company creating a marvelous pastiche of the swinging London sounds that inspired them. Even though McGee's vocals aren't always up to the task, with Hollies-style harmonies lifting songs like the irresistible beat throwback &There You Go Again& and &She's Got Diamonds,& any shortcomings prove negligible. The songwriting discipline dissipates somewhat on side two, but not enough to undo the good impression that the handful of gems on the A-side have left. A good starting point for curious fans of McGee's later endeavors, Oblivion was, like most of the band's retro-leaning output, both behind the times and -- considering the Oasis-dominated U.K. music scene of the '90s, which McGee helped mastermind with a similar philosophy -- miles ahead of them.
