Score distribution:
  1. Positive: 4 out of 11
  2. Negative: 2 out of 11
  1. A near-perfect debut. [#17, p.82]
  2. There's a fair bit of self-indulgence here, but the former Suede leader has a way with these things, and the result is generally listenable.
  3. Dubious lyrics notwithstanding, this is exactly the kind of album that a formerly drug-addled, ludicrously randy, city-dazzled English suburban boy ought to be making when he reaches the onset of middle age.
  4. On his lonesome Anderson is oppressively unimaginative.

    I realy dont understand the "deeply dull music" of some alchoholic critics.

    Pretty cute album, with some amazing moments as Winter or Love Is Dead.

    This album is an ambigous affair. I really like most of the songs, but then again I think it's just because I always liked Bretts voice. What's really disappointing about the album is not the quality of songwriting, but its lacklustre production. It sounds like Brett singing to plastic-piano and plastic-string in his bedroom or something. This can be ok to some musicians, but in this case it suits remarkably bad. It's like watching a Champions League match in an empty stadium. Expand
