4 stars Perhaps not their best, but very good nonetheless
There were only two major hits off the album, namely "Don't Marry Her" and "Rotterdam (Or Anywhere)".

3 stars Good stuff, but definitely not their best
I love the Beautiful South to death, but this is not a good introduction to their music. There are too many ballads, and not enough musical variety. "Little Blue," "Rotterdam" and "The Sound of North America" are the highlights here. To get a better idea of how great this band can be, get "0898" or "Quench." This particular disc shows off the band's sarcastic lyrics and perfect pop touch, but a lot of it sounds too forced. Not bad, but please start with something else if you're a BS newbie.
