Get What You Need is a 2003studio album by an Irishpower pop/punk rock band The Undertones.[2] It is the band's first collection of new studio material since their reformation with lead singer Paul McLoone, who replaced the previous singer Feargal Sharkey which occurred in November 1999.[2]Allmusic stated in their review that "It's almost unthinkable, really, that Derry's fabled good-time teenpunks of yesteryear would record and continue... let alone that their output would be anything less than embarrassing." The website also stated that "you have everything you need for a complete escape to more innocent, drunken, loutish times with a smile on the faces of everyone in your immediate vicinity" and recommended the album.[2]Uncut Magazine gave a favorable review as well, remarking that its songs "inhabit the same ageless corner of garage bandheaven as earlier classics".[3] In contrast, Blender gave it two stars out of five—'mediocre'—and stated that "they sound more like a road-toughened bar band".[4]
