Two 6 minute anthems. But they don't outstay there welcome.

BC number 1 in the UK, Shout number 1 in America.

Believe Shout may have made number 1 in the UK if it had been lead single from the album.

Mothers Talk was first single from 'Songs from the Big Chair'. That was ok but only got to number 14 in the UK.

T4F were not huge so a weak second single would have disappeared without trace. However Shout powered into the top 5.

Was disappointed when I heard Mandela Day was going to be on the next SM album. Didn't like it much & hoped it was just a throw away song for the Mandela concert.

But when I heard lead single Belfast Child I was looking forward to the album.
