Whatever People Say I Am, That’s What I’m Not

The first album is the one with “A Certain Romance” at the end, but there was plenty going on outside those thirteen tracks. “No Buses” and “Despair in the Departure Lounge” came out on the EP that followed it. The singles are worth opening on their own, too. That’s where you’ll find “Bigger Boys and Stolen Sweethearts,” “Settle for a Draw” and the band’s take on “Baby I’m Yours.”
