Three years after the critically-acclaimed "Talk about the weather" debut LP, the second outfit of the "Leeds triangle" returned with "Nothing Wrong", the first full-release on Situation Two, after moving on from the small Red Rhino that released the first pack of singles and the debut album.

Focusing on the more direct elements of the first LP, "Nothing wrong" consists of short songs, mostly not over 3/3.30 minutes, straightforward, with a lot of guitar distortion and washes and Reed's hypnotic deep-toned vocals, which at this point begin to remind me of the Reid brothers' (ha!) own ones from the Mary Chain. Overall, while this is still by all means a "goth" record, it begins to draw closer to the noise-distortion rock of the era, most notably the aforementioned Mary Chain ("Psychocandy" era). The single "Only dreaming" demonstrates this quite effectively. The move would be more obvious on the following release, 1989's "Blow" that is a psychedelic dive into the dark/alternative rock.

While inferior than the dynamic debut, "Nothing wrong" features some very strong tracks, the title track, the clever instrumental "Sayonara" and "Hands off me" being the standouts.

In all, a transitional record between the early Gothic heydays and the latter, acid-fueled psychedelic "indie" sound. With some great songs, certainly worth the attention, though quite not as classic as the debut...
