Troublegum is in my top twenty albums. I can still listen to it from start to finish without getting bored. Nurse was awesome as well - though a bit less consistent. The early EPs also had some cracking tunes on them, as did Opal Mantra (the title track was brilliant). I think they started to go downhill after Troublegum - Infernal Love had four good songs on it, Semi-Detached had two, and everything other than that was pretty average.
Yeah, Screamager has one of those riffs that you can just hear as soon as you think of the song.
Not sure it qualifies as Pop, but I know what you mean. It's a great album for getting the adreneline flowing - would be perfect prior to a big match or going to war!
They were a cracking band back in the day. Saw them support Metallica once and it was unbelievable the way they just owned the stage - given there was only three of them and one was obviously kinda rooted to his drum kit!
Saw Troublegum on Amazon for a ridiculously low price so just had to re-buy it and was clearly listening to it on the train home last night. (My ex from many moons ago took our copy with her - she wasn't stupid!)
Saw them at Donnington 94, Andy Cairns is great but the young lad that looks like he was out of Spandau Ballet never stopped pogoing even between the songs, mad

Troublegum is a superb album, I've lost my CD though - thanks for reminding me of it, I shall be downloading it later!
