I like that album better than their first one!

It’s a proverbial “underrated” album IMO, very ambitious and largely successful in its attempt (led primarily by John Squire, the band’s guitarist) to take the band’s sound in a heavier blues-rock direction—though “Ten Storey Love Song” and “How Do You Sleep” are definitely in the vein of the first album. I love just about everything they recorded from 1987 through Second Coming. I also got to see them in Manchester in 2016, while staying at board member BillF’s house! (An absolutely delightful visit and host... among other things, Bill gave me and my girlfriend a guided tour of the city center.)

Not for me, I still remember how disappointed I was on first play of that.  Never got to like it, sold it years ago. The first album is a time-capsule of the UK at that time. Squire's attempts, as mentioned by Ghost of Miles, to move the sound away from its dance influences left it's specificity behind.  With that, it failed to live up against other rock albums and bands at the time.

Having said all that, i need to listen to it again someday
