Untitled[edit]
Should the tracklisting not follow the original Deceptive Records release which omits the previous b-side See that Animal and has a slightly different running order (a superior one in my opinion)?
Legal Issues[edit]
This article badly needs a section detailing the legal issues surrounding this record. It is covered in the band's wiki page, but should certainly covered on the album itself. From the ban page:
The band became subject to controversy when several bands sued them for plagiarism. Specifically, the post-punk band Wire (who Elastica counted as one of their main influences) claimed that many of the band's melodies were taken from Wire compositions, as well as by The Stranglers. Notably, Wire's "I Am the Fly" has a chorus similar to Elastica's "Line Up" and the intro synthesizer part in Elastica's "Connection" (later also repeated on guitar) is lifted from the guitar riff in Wire's "Three Girl Rhumba" and transposed a semitone, and The Stranglers also passed comment that Elastica's "Waking Up" bore a marked resemblance to their song "No More Heroes". The judgment resulted in out-of-court settlements. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.33.201.12 (talk) 11:56, 17 October 2014 (UTC)
