Gene - As Good As It Gets

Review by Toshihiro Suzuki

As Good As It Gets, the third studio album by British rock band Gene, is a masterpiece that showcases the band's musical prowess and songwriting abilities. Released in 1997, the album features a collection of 12 tracks that are a mix of indie rock, Britpop, and alternative rock.

The album opens with the upbeat and catchy "As Good As It Gets," which sets the tone for the rest of the album. The track features jangly guitars, a driving beat, and Martin Rossiter's distinctive vocals. The album's second track, "Fighting Fit," is another standout, with its anthemic chorus and memorable guitar riffs.

Other notable tracks on the album include "Where Are They Now?," which features a haunting piano melody and introspective lyrics, and "Speak To Me Someone," a soaring ballad that showcases Rossiter's emotive vocals.
