Doesn't quite stand the test of time

"SPARTACUS" by THE FARM seems to be one of those albums that hasn't aged well.
The LIVERPOOL band released this debut album in 1991, when a host of U.K. musical acts were mixing dance beats, psychedelia and pop hooks in a style called "MADCHESTER."
Not many of those bands enjoyed lasting success, swept away later in the decade by the more straightforward approach of Blur, Oasis and the other "Britpop" bands.
"Spartacus" is also one of those albums that sits on my CD shelf, gathering more dust than plays.
I listened to it on the iPod this morning while walking on the treadmill. The grooves are catchy, but less than memorable.
Perhaps that is just what was needed in 1991. It just doesn't seem to stand the test of time.
