Stuck Together with God's Glue
Stuck Together with God's Glue is Something Happens' second studio album.[4][5] "Hello, Hello, Hello, Hello, Hello, (Petrol)" ranked #40 on NME's singles of the year, in 1990. The name of the album was later used as a line in the song "Staring at the Sun", by U2. Critical receptionTrouser Press wrote: "With a catchy chorus and comically awkward syntax, 'Hello, Hello, Hello, Hello, Hello, (Petrol)' is a certified shoulda-been hit; the sumptuously melancholy 'Kill the Roses' takes things in a more textured, moody direction. Good show."[6] The Washington Post opined that the album "salutes the British pop-rock tradition with the sincerest form of flattery."[7] The Star Tribune deemed it "a pure pop-rock treat, with occasional echoes of such successful countrymen as U2 and Hothouse Flowers as well as ABBA, Squeeze and R.E.M."[8] The album ranked No. 33 on The Irish Times's 2008 list of the top 40 Irish albums.[9] Track listing
