Nah. That's one of those rock myths that people have started to believe.

The JAMC were faced with an impossible position - how to release a follow-up to a debut that probably received more fuss / hype than anything since Bollocks and Marquee Moon.

They decided to follow it up with a more sedate affair. It's no Psychocandy, but it's not dodgy. Neither is the excellent JAMC-do-T.Rex Automatic. And so on.

And gotta give a mention to Sidewalking and Reverence. Two absolute classic 45's IMO.

As for Distortion, I've not heard it, but maybe...just maybe...the reason why it's getting compared to the JAMC is because it sounds (even slightly?) like them?
