Celebrity Skin's self-titled EP of 1990 wasn't bad, but it was with the full-length album Good Clean Fun that the band really started to excel.

A variety of direct or indirect power-pop influences can be cited -- everyone from Cheap Trick to the Beatles, in fact. And at times, Skin brings to mind the underrated and very quirky Sparks. But while such comparisons are valid, "Sweet Fisted Nanny," "Visible Man," "Evicted" and other songs are the work of a band that had found its own collective voice and was using it advantageously. The writing is much stronger than before, and Skin sounds a lot more confident. Good Clean Fun is power-pop heaven. ~ Alex Henderson, Rovi
