Written by band members Rick Witter, Paul Banks, Tom Gladwin and Alan Leach, the record captures the energetic guitar-driven sound that helped define the Britpop era. A Maximum High reached number 8 on the UK Albums Chart and produced five UK Top 40 singles: ""Where Have You Been Tonight?"", ""Getting Better"", ""Going for Gold"", ""On Standby"" and ""Bully Boy"". Among these, ""Going for Gold"" became the band's biggest hit, peaking at number 8 on the UK Singles Chart.
