The Boo Radleys: Giant Steps (Creation)
Paul Moody, NME, 1993
TIME FOR a rethink. At some point (just between the dreamy acoustic sway of Wish I Was Skinny and Leaves And Sand I think, but dont quote me on it) things become remarkably clear. The Boo Radleys are on their way toward making a classic album. One of those rare treasures you find yourself putting on to shake off a bad day when normally only Pet Sounds or Revolver or even Bandwagonesque will do.
