Review from Dotmusic


There was many a prediction at the turn of the year tipping Mansun to scale greater heights in 1998.

Having raced to popularity following their mature debut album Attack Of The Grey Lantern 18 months ago – which reached number one – the Chester foursome fulfil expectations with a consistent, quality selection of new material, further punctuated with Sixties and Eighties references while oozing creativity and confidence.

With the Legacy EP peaking at seven and the gloriously addictive new single Being A Girl attracting airplay plus plenty of other media attention (especially with the well publicised mini-tour of Virgin stores), given the current state of the indie scene, there is no reason why Six should not prove to be one of the major albums of the year.

5/5
