HEY MA - DAILY MAIL REVIEW

"Signed to Tony Wilson's Factory label in the Eighties, James are one of the few British rock bands ever to come close to the stadium-rock swagger of U2. Hey Ma recaptures the spirit of 1993's Laid (which broke them in the States), with talismanic frontman Tim Booth reiterating his formidable lyrical skills. The lilting Upside shows their softer side, but the Mancunians are at their best on rock anthems such as Whiteboy and Waterfall. An outstanding comeback."
