    Much too long to wait for...but well worth it! Lloyd Cole remains at the top of the singer/songwriter game, and this release bodes well for the future. A wonderful album, full of wit, charm and consistent melody. A must have.

    Amazing album, got to hear for yourself to see what you're missing. Could possibly be his best work yet.

    If he lost you at the mellowed out Love Story, this one's for you! Amazing amazing amazing return to form, jangly and every single song is a smash! I'm surprised more people aren't talking about this one!

    Already played it 50 times. Fantastic band and witty lyrics and the legendary voice. Best song is Negative Attitude.

    The man has not lost his lyrical wit but I feel some of the tracks musically, is not his best.

    Singing in an airily accented voice that brings to mind fellow Brit popsters Robyn Hitchcock and John Wesley Harding, Cole evokes aural images of indie radio circa 1985.

    Throughout the album, Cole & co. offer up one pop nugget after another, all carefully honed through warts-and-all shows held in New York over the last few years. The result is that The Negatives isn't just Cole's most consistent disc in 11 years; it's also quite possibly his best ever.

    If a weak link exists it's only that the surprises are few, but in reality it's for that very reason that Cole's music is so comfortable.
