Cast were formed in Liverpool by Power (vocals, guitar) and Peter Wilkinson (backing vocals, bass) after Power left the La's and Wilkinson's former band Shack had split. The band remained on the forefront of the Britpop movement during the latter half of the '90s and into the new millennium before splitting in 2001. The CDs feature a total of 35 tracks. The DVD includes promo videos and an interview with frontman John Power in which he talks about the band and the making of the album, as well as an interview conducted by Jamie Theakston on the program THE O ZONE. Review: TideShea@aol.com - I'm giving this album a five-star rating partly because I love it, but also partly to spite two of the three idiots that wrote the worst reviews of an album I've ever read, one of which I believe is Lee Mavers (to those of you who don't know, he's the talented yet unquestionably headstrong and stupid former lead singer/co-founder/destroyer of John Power's former band the La's). His mother probably wrote the other review. I must admit, I was a little leery of purchasing this album based on these three reviews, but I was pleasantly surprised. This is one of those albums, like Oasis' Be Here Now, that was unfairly criticized for reasons unbeknownst to anyone. I must say I disagree with David Groves almost song for song. The album starts off on a stronger note than All Change. Free Me is a powerful song that's Britpop from start to finish. On the Run is wonderfully written, and has a different kind of beat unlike any Cast song I've heard before (check out the demo version on the Live the Dream single, it's fantastic). And what's wrong the repetition on Guiding Star, and why would somebody count how many times they sing it? That would be like counting the "yeah, yeah, yeah yeahs" in the Beatles' She Loves You. Hey, Adam Bell, how many times did the Clash repeat the line "London's Burning?" I think Live the Dream is the second strongest song on the album, with I'm So Lonely being the first. I'm So Lonely is a song that wouldn't sound out of place on John Lennon's Double Fantasy album (it could've replaced one of those awful Yoko Ono songs). That's the sound that I immediately equated it with upon first listen. I've made two Cast fans by playing them Live the Dream, so I really don't think it's very amateur. I wish David Groves could've expanded on that statement a bit because I'm really perplexed by it. The album ends on a high note Never Gonna Tell You What to Do and Dance of the Stars. And, of course, the album contains a hidden track, which is a beautifully melancholy, yet simple tinkling piano version of On the Run accompanied by a backwards guitar. I'm not going to sit here and tell you that every song is great. Like most albums, some are better than others. I think if you like Cast, then this album is one you'll leave in the CD player for quite a while. I don't think the three prior reviews were very fair, so that's why I wrote this one. The first two are just asinine. The third one seems well thought out, but I'm confused why David Groves would write eight paragraphs to tell you not to buy this album. Why would anybody waste their time unless they really didn't like this particular band, and do you think somebody who doesn't like a certain band is going to write an objective review? I mean I dislike Creed, but I wouldn't write a negative eight paragraph review, urging you not to buy the album. David Groves pleads for something different and berates the repetitiveness, yet he longs for the songs to sound like the ones on All Change, particularly Walkaway. That album was great, but shouldn't bands be encouraged to expand and seek out new musical horizons? David Groves sounds like one those people who would've given Bob Dylan grief for going electric or the Beatles Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band because they lost their mop tops. The bottom line is, if you're a Cast fan and a lover of Britpop in general, you'll enjoy this album. It's not All Change, but it's not supposed to be. I consider it a step up for Cast. If you still live in 1992 and long for a La's reunion, then don't buy this album. They're gone, and, thankfully, John Power and Cast have emerged, keeping the Liverpool beat alive. One last thing; if you're really a Cast fan, pick up some of singles from this album. They contain some great non-LP b-sides like For So Long, Canter, and a great cover version of Bob Marley's Redemption Song.

I actually don't think the debut "All Change" was a masterpiece in its own right, but still, if the term 'sophomore slump' was ever applicable, it's right here. On "Mother Nature Calls", John Power seems snake bit, tossing off one mind-blowingly bland and insipid Brit-pop tune after another. I'm more than a little amazed that producer John Leckie could have possibly thought that this was a strong batch of songs. People often complained that Noel Gallagher had nothing to say lyrically, and if that was the case, I don't think they'd even know where to begin with Power's lyrics here which are platitudinous and generic beyond all belief, taking the term 'scraping the bottom of the barrel' to new heights. He goes berserk with repetition on numerous songs, seemingly thinking it provides some kind of mantra-like quality, but with his self-absorbed nasal delivery partly to blame, he fails miserably at achieving a hypnotic quality and instead winds up being simply horrendously repetitive (the chorus on "The Mad Hatter" is probably the most brain-frying demonstration of this). On the more positive side, I'll admit that "Mirror Me" is quite good. The lyrics still leave a lot to be desired, but the grungey riff over a one-note bass line works well, and the Mellotron on the bridge sections is ear-catching and effective. "Never Gonna Tell You What To Do" has a notable dreaminess to it, although again, shoddy lead vocals from Power and ludicrously simplistic lyrics cut it right down. I'd also be remiss if I didn't mention the orchestrated ballad "I'm So Lonely", a fine piece of songwriting with a memorable looping guitar riff, although the orchestration does get to be too much, giving the tune a regrettably sappy flavor. Still, even the relative high points can't be given an unqualified recommendation, and is further indicative of how weak "Mother Nature Calls" really is. Cast did bounce back with the next album, 1999's "Magic Hour", which contains some certifiably great songs, and then they bounced back even stronger when they came back after a 10+ year hiatus for 2012's "Trouble Times" which, somewhat incredibly, gets my vote for Cast's best album. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ro/products/17575452-mother-nature-calls](https://www.desertcart.ro/products/17575452-mother-nature-calls) --- *Product available on Desertcart Romania* *Store origin: RO* *Last updated: 2026-05-19*
