How To Get Everything You Ever Wanted In Ten Easy Steps
The Ordinary Boys

Review by Sharon Mawer (AMG)

How to Get Everything You Ever Wanted in Ten Easy Steps was the third album by Brightons the Ordinary Boys and, like its predecessors, was a mixture of indie punk circa 1980 with 1960s influences. Since the album Brassbound, Sam Preston had taken the plunge away from being an indie rock star to appear on Celebrity Big Brother, selling his soul, some might say, and what that gave the Ordinary Boys was publicity that they never would otherwise have had. Whether it was good publicity is open to debate, and a new album by the band featuring the lovable rogue that people had seen on TV was eagerly anticipated. Unfortunately, the statistics did not show any increase in the general fan base prepared to buy their albums, How to Get Everything You Ever Wanted in Ten Easy Steps failing to reach the Top Ten, as had both of the previous two albums. Listening to Prestons vocals, one is reminded of Paul Weller -- which is no bad thing -- and the backing band also does him proud with a tight set, especially on the track Ballad of an Unrequited Self-Love Affair, but it ended with a silly chanted chorus over a Fun Boy Three-type backing. Lonely at the Top opened as if it were introducing a horror film, much in the way that the Specials Ghost Town was atmospheric at the start, but once the song got underway, the menace vanished. The Great Big Rip Off started well but brought back memories of the Cockney Rejects or Sham 69 without the humor, and quite a few of the numbers showed an influence from the 2 Tone scene of the early 80s, ska with a very British accent, including The Higher the Highs and Boys Will Be Boys. Near the end of the album they changed the pace completely with the 60s-style elevator music instrumental Thank You and Goodnight, which at over five minutes was far too long and repetitive, but nevertheless a welcome break from the norm. The album included no fewer than four Top Ten singles, Lonely at the Top, Nine2Five, Boys Will Be Boys (which was added as an afterthought, having been reissued to become a bigger hit the second time around), and the truly awful I Luv You, which was definitely more Heat magazine celebrity style than NME indie punk. For a taste of what this band sounded like live, listen to the penultimate track, Whos That Boy, complete with echo, reverb, and feedback from a small nightclub. Rating 3/5
