Vaselines, The - The Way Of The Vaselines A Complete History

Review by Miroslava Čechová

The album "The Way of the Vaselines: A Complete History" by Vaselines, The is a must-have for fans of the Scottish indie-pop band. This comprehensive collection features all of their studio recordings, including their two full-length albums, as well as rare demos and live performances.

The album showcases the band's unique blend of punk energy and melodic pop sensibilities, with witty and often irreverent lyrics that explore love, sex, and relationships. The raw, lo-fi production of their early recordings adds to the charm and authenticity of their sound.

Standout tracks include "Son of a Gun," "Molly's Lips," and "Jesus Wants Me for a Sunbeam," which were covered by Nirvana and helped introduce the band to a wider audience.
