The Boo Radleys had a one-off moment of chart single glory in the UK with Wake Up!’s lead single “Wake Up Boo!,” a horn-driven blast of soul-pop that was a great showcase of both Sice’s singing and Martin Carr’s implied claim of knowing pop hooks in general proven completely true. A gentle air of 1960s psych pop placed into mid-’90s Britpop suffuses the album, evident on singles like “Find the Answer Within” and “It’s Lulu,” while Carr’s wider cultural obsessions also come to the fore on “Charles Bukowski is Dead” and the collage experiment “Martin, Doom! It’s Seven O’Clock.”
