· Steel drums?

The Top five reasons I can't recommend the debut album by Delays.

1. The album starts with the sound of steel drums.

2. Delays used to be a glam-rock band from Southhampton, England.

3. All songs were written by singer Greg Gilbert while suffering from a

crippling bout of depression at art school.

4. The album sounds like something you'd hear on a light FM radio

station.

5. Gilbert's choir-boy falsetto and the band’s obsession with the Byrds

and Cocteau Twins.
