After a while shapes form and the structure of this masterpiece become clear - a wash of beautiful melodies and sumptuous chord changes that sit somewhere between George Harrison and Echo and the Bunnymen.
-
Essentially, it's "Lovers" part two.
-
The album's most striking feature is its ability to avoid the musically obvious while still delivering golden pop melodies.
-
It's familiar, but ultimately too inspired to be derivative.
-
The Sleepy Jackson are an oddball treat for those who want their pop music to color outside the lines.
-
Spin[Steele's] way-back machine is aimed precisely for 1985. [Aug 2006, p.85]
-
Just a little less inscrutability, and this could have been a real contender.

GuyHJul 27, 2006Near perfect pop album. A better album than the recent '...Mystics', 'Secret Migration' or 'Fambly Cat'. Impressive!
