Forgoing the darker, lengthier ruminations of their prior album TWISTED, Del Amitri keeps most of their songs close to the three-minute mark while tossing together an intriguing mix of trashy guitar, gorgeous strings and country twang.The title track is a perfect juxtaposition of dirty-sounding fretwork and sweeping strings that perfectly offsets the chiming, Byrds-like guitar pop of "Not Where It's At." The Nashville influence appears on "Life Is Full," a stomper with tinkling piano, and the country-soul of "Won't Make It Better," where Justin Currie comes off sounding like a modern-day Pete Ham. Despite all this strum-and-twang, rock 'n' roll is their true calling, and these Scots show it with the in-your-face guitar work of the sassy, Oasis-meets-Suede "High Times" and the reverb-soaked raucousness of "Medicine." Professional Reviews: Entertainment Weekly (7/18/97, p.85) - "...Scotsmen Justin Currie and Iain Harvie have turned out a kind of engaging, tuneful rock that hasn't been heard on these shores since, perhaps, the Bodeans' GO SLOW DOWN. Ironic but never cynical, PARADE works as both art and artifact." - Rating: B+ Musician (8/97, p.89) - "...[they] have an odd knack for making the ordinary special--for inserting precisely the right wrong turn in both lyrics and melodies....clever pop songs that are unique because, in their own way, each is always somehow off..."
