THE REVIEW
Hello... I'm back.. this is the second review I write for your pleasure... since there are few reviews on the Charlatans, I'll start by telling you about one of their albums 'some friendly'...
This, in my opinion, is the most suitable album for getting closer to this band... it contains the hit the only one i know which at the time was very successful in England and not only...
Recommended for lovers of the Madchester sound (Stone Roses, Inspiral Carpets, Happy Mondays...) but also for Britpop in general.

Summary by Bot
This review praises The Charlatans' album 'Some Friendly' as an ideal introduction to the band and Britpop music. The album features the hit 'The Only One I Know,' which was successful in the UK and beyond. Recommended especially for fans of the Madchester sound and Britpop genre.
The Charlatans
English rock band formed in 1988, emerging from the Madchester/baggy scene with the debut Some Friendly (1990) and its hit The Only One I Know. Led by Tim Burgess, their Hammond-driven sound was defined early on by Rob Collins (who died in 1996 during Tellin' Stories), and they later endured the loss of drummer Jon Brookes (2013). They achieved major success with Tellin' Stories and continued with Modern Nature and Different Days.09 Reviews

The album is definitely not a masterpiece. It would be bold to say so! But it still represents something in that cauldron/mixture that were the 90s BRIT.
The genre of the music is characterized by an abuse of the Hammond organ by the late 'Brother Collins', and it’s evident that in albums to come after his death, the lack of that Hammond will be felt.
By abbazaba
'Some Friendly' could be considered one of the first 'Brit Pop' albums.
Certainly, it is a groundbreaking work in the world of Pop/Electronic music, a precursor to the world that would come after.
