Album Review, Coupled With - The Wildhearts ***** There are a lot of current British bands, Funeral For A Friend, InMe, Hundred Reasons, Hell Is For Heroes and possibly even Lostprophets, who should buy this cd and listen to it an awful lot, then hopefully, after a few hours, they'll learn how to produce well constructed, memorable rock songs. Coupled With contains 20 tracks, two albums worth of b-sides and rarities that have been cleaned up and remastered for this release, plus a video of 'Stormy In The North.' Wonderful, catchy rock tracks just pour out from Ginger's pen, 'O.C.D.', 'Looking for The One' and 'Move On' all stand out as great sing-a-long Wildhearts classics, and if you want the heavier stuff you've got tracks like 'Lake of Piss'. Whilst some of the songs are a little sub standard you can't really complain about them, it is a b-side collection after all, and the wealth of decent material more than makes up for the odd duff track. The rather embarrassing thing about Coupled With is that it is, on the whole, a far better record than 'Must Be Destroyed'. The Wildhearts have also been supporting the collection on tour, dropping at least three Coupled With tracks (by my hazy, Stella Artois/JD fuelled memory) into their set list. If you are already a Wildhearts fanatic, it's a must have album, if you're not, then it serves as a pretty good introduction to the finest rock act Britain has produced in the last 15 years.
