    It's the sort of record today's 15-year-olds are going to feel embarrassed about owning five or six years from now. [No. 108, p.56]

This album really works best when they keep that sense of wit & tightness that made them such a force of personality in the pop world in the first place. Not a good starting point but worth your time if you're already a fan of their other stuff.
