Junior Cottonmouth

Junior Cottonmouth was a pop rock quartet from Lancaster, England. They released one album, Bespoke, on Atlantic Records in 1997. This album was mostly produced by Craig Leon.[1]

Reception

Bespoke received mixed reviews from critics; for example, Mark Jenkins wrote in the Washington Post that the album "features bouncy melodies, pithy guitar solos and catchy refrains," but that "Few of those refrains, however, are indelible."[1] Similarly, Steven Mirkin wrote in Entertainment Weekly that the album was "Pleasant, off-the-rack Brit pop" and gave it a C+ grade.[2] Robert Christgau gave the album a "choice cut" grade, which corresponds to an album he thinks is mostly bad but that has a few good songs on it. He identified these songs as "Physical Stuff" and "Something Scratching".[3] A review in Billboard described the album's single, "Something Scratching," as "the closest thing to a perfect pop record you are likely to hear at the moment."[4]
