I mentioned before that I'm not much of a Giant Steps fan. I'm not a huge fan of Wake Up!, either, though I'd probably slightly prefer it. It's more straightforward pop and a lot less self-conscious than its immediate predecessor.
Actually I'd been so disappointed with Giant Steps that I'd pretty much written them off after it, but then one year when I was living in exile in a horrible corner of the world - the less said the better - a friend back in England sent me a mix tape (remember "tapes"?), just to torture me with what I was missing out on, and put this song on it. It persuaded me to go back and give the Boos another chance.
I still think their shoegaze era was their best, but I suspect that's just me.
