The disappearance of An Emotional Fish was one of the great disappointments of the 1990s. Released in September of 1990, An Emotional Fish likely was a victim of the Rattle and Hum era U2 backlash. Though released through Atlantic, the band's first singles were on U2's Mother Records label. That, and their Dublin roots, made the band an easy target for critics. But the album was filled with some wonderful melodic rock songs. "Blue," "Lace Virginia," "Celebrate," and "Julian" were strong songs. The CD version included one extra track, "Move On." Sadly, the band's music changed after their debut (possibly as a reaction to a critical backlash). A great debut album from a band that never again reached such heights. Perhaps a testament to its quality is how incredibly hard to find An Emotional Fish is, meaning fans are unwilling to part with it, even years later. Well worth the search. by JT Griffith

It actually is very good, even to a blues rock listener. Kind of refreshing!. Reminded me a lot of U2, but in a good way.
Thanks man!
ditto to bilal. I enjoyed the 1st five songs and Demon Jive. My fav was Celebrate but there is room for only one U2.
Brother Puck thanks so much for this, makes me feel like i'm 19 years old again, right on.
