One of my favourite bands ever this one – just brilliant. I found a review of this album on Amazon which the writer states:“The follow up to their hugely successful Immigrants, Emigrants And Me, 2 Hell With Common Sense is the ultimate in indie music from the early nineties. Craig Walker's (Singer/Guitarist/Main Songwriter) songs are the most beautifully crafted of his generation. All the songs bleed finesse through their thin veils of excellence; everything you need in an album is here: from the hard sound of Metalscape, the catholic defiance of Untitled to the power pop sensibilities of There I Go Again. This album will sit in my top ten for the rest of my life. Turn on and fall in love.”
Sums it up pretty nicely – a superb album – another band who have never released a bad song if you've never heard of them - trust me take a chance you won't regret it!

Hi Garrett
I never really got into Power of Dreams but I am going to give them a try based on your comments and review.

Power of dreams ! I think it was the best album of them (better than "immigrants"), the voice of Craig Walker is brilliant and seems like Guy Chadwick's voice what is a very good thing.
I bought their third album (positivity) few years ago, but it was a real deception, there was no song like "here i go again" or "slowdown", it was like they lost their flame ...
Thanks for your post, bye.
Thanks again for uploading yet another gem:). I have this album and 'Immigrants, Emigrants And Me' on vinyl, and to be honest I am much more fond of 'Immigrants, Emigrants And Me', a charming record full of sweet pop melodies delivered with the energy of The Undertones. Anyway the second album was good too:). Thanks¡

It was a tough call Fernando between the two - like picking your favourite child :)
Personally, I love everything POD did - I may have a POD week where only POD gets posted - I'm in that sort of mood at the minute!
POD week - go for it!
My favourite track by a long way has to be See You.
Ian Olney now plays in the reformed Sultans of Ping.
See You is a masterpiece - good to see that they are all still involved in music!
More Power Of Dreams!
It was such an influence on the music when I had my band goin'...
