Review from Play Louder.

The Disco Students - 'I Beg To Differ'
yeah!yeah!yeah! Records

The Disco Students come from that era when you could get away with calling your band something like The Disco Students without the pseudo proletarian hordes of the music press getting sniffy. Yet the Aylesbury chaps were a band aptly named, combining arch, fizzing guitars with pummelling, anxious post-punk straitjacket-soul beats, elegant, intelligent lyricism and song titles like 'Kafkaesque' and 'A Boy With A Penchant For Open Neck Shirts'. That's me, that is! This retrospective of the band's twenty-eight year career sees the tense 'Pink Triangles', the light pop of 'Sugarside', the subtle synths of 'But' that give it a slightly goth edge and the dark romance of 'Red Flowers' that make up Disco Students early - and best -material. For anyone who's never got down for a book and a boogie with these chaps, this compilation comes highly recommended.
