MojoHis lyrics don't always match his ambition. [Apr 2007, p.108]
-
11 tracks of the same old maudlin balladry.
-
Shorn of his camp finery, not to mention his preferred subject matter - androgynous boys from suburbia kissing under nuclear skies - his voice, still an acquired taste, proves ill-suited to introspection.
-
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.
-
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.
