General Public broke up after this 1995 album do it being considered a 'let down' for people expecting a 'better' come back from the British dynamic duo of Dave Wakeling and "Rankin'" Roger. It is instances like these where I distruss the public as well as the critics. The only other person who loved this album besides me was a critic from Rolling Stone who also gave it five stars, which means a classic. Every song on this album certainly sounds like a classic and the entire album will resonate in your brain even after the first listen. With it's catchy synthesiser and guitar riffs and melodic hooks, this would make for a masterpiece for those of you who a)liked the English Beat, Genral Public's former incarnation or b)genrally love the fusion of Reggea and Pop. With Roger's Jamaican-style rapping and Wakeling's romantic lead vocals, 'Rub It Better' is a must-have in your record collection.
Song "Love without the fun"


you know you're not the only one
who'd like to grab their coat
and just try to run
love without the fun
now can you
just stand and finish what you had begun

now the ...
sun's the moon, and the moon's the sun
how come
it's not that it's not love, but it's love without
love without the fun?

love without the fun
a man change inside
when he holds his gun
no use telling me "keep calm"
when i was the cowboy that died in your arms

now the ...
sun's the moon, and the moon's the sun
how come
we're still disagreeing when we both know
we're wrong? how come
it's not that it's not love, it's a serious one
how come
it's not that it's not love, it's love without
love without the fun?

sometimes it's hard to carry on
you'd like to grab your coat
and just try to run
well you know you're not the only one
who's had to
just stand and finish what they had begun

now the ...
sun's the moon, and the moon's the sun
how come
we're still disagreeing
when we both know we're wrong?
how come
it's not that it's not love, it's a serious one
how come
it's not that it's not love, but it's love without
love without the fun?

love without the fun, love without the fun
love without the fun, love without the fun

it's not that it's not, not that it's not love
love without the fun
not that it's not, not that it's not love
love without the fun
not that it's not, not that it's not love
love without the fun
not that it's not, not that it's not love
love without the fun
not that it's not love, it's a well serious one
so how come
we're still disagreeing
when we both know we're wrong?

how come
it's not that it's not, not that it's not love
love without the fun
not that it's not love, but it's love without
love without the fun
love without the fun
