Despite receiving less public acclaimed than the other albums, it was certified Gold by the BPI. On 11 May 1999 ''Nu-Clear Sounds'' was released in the United States with an alternate track listing and with "Jesus Says", "Wild Surf" and "Folk Song" remixed by Butch Vig. ==Background== It was the first album by the band to feature new member Charlotte Hatherley. Speaking to ''Kerrang!'' in 2008, Tim Wheeler remembered: It was hell trying to make this. I was trying to write and it wasn’t quite happening. We all got pretty burned out from the touring, so it was a bit of a dark record. We were also reacting to the pop expectations that were put on us. We just wanted to do something a bit more reactionary and darker to reflect what we’ve been gone through. I went off the rails a bit. But one good thing was Charlotte () came along. I was living in an apartment with her boyfriend. She was really young, she was kind of shy and awkward, but she was also a great guitarist.However, the majority of the album, along with ''Free All Angels'' and ''Meltdown'', has rarely been played since her departure from the line-up. The tone of the album was a noticeable departure from the sound of ''1977'', with the much darker edge reflecting the mood of the band at the time, who were suffering from burn out as a result of near non-stop touring since their 1996 album ''1977''. Despite this, the songs still contain the trademark elements of Ash songs. The album also had more of an American indie and grunge influence from the likes of The Smashing Pumpkins, Hüsker Dü, Nirvana and Nada Surf along with the Weezer albums ''Weezer'' and ''Pinkerton''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Nu-Clear Sounds」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
