 Rating:  - A simply great piece of workI was never a Beautiful South afficionado. I have always admired some of Paul Heaton's work but could not say I was a fan. I did like a lot of Housemartins stuff though. The point is ...... this isn't a recommendation from a B/South fan. Anyway, this album is terrific. It's rare to get an album of such unremitting quality, with such a range of tracks. I just keep playing it and I find it hard to think of an album I have enjoyed more. The only minor weakeness, in my view, is the first couple or tracks. After that, the tracks just get better and better. I think the album is more Housemartins than Beautiful South, but that's probably an uneducated comment given that I don't have much B/S material.

I cant believe that this album was penned by the same man who gave us Choke, Welcome to the Beautiful South and 0898. If you walked into a pub and heard someone singing this stuff in the corner, you might not finish your pint. In fact, you might not even finish your vodka and coke. Dull tunes, dodgy lyrics, God Bless Texas aint too bad, but come on Paul, what were you thinking ? My advice to you would be- start drinking heavily again, you were far more creative. You see people leaving Coronation street and a few weeks later they're on Casualty, then they're in The Bill a month or so later. Tucker Jenkins did that, and so did Leanne Battersby. Unfortunately Tucker can't go back to his fruit and veg stall ... Read More: Rating: - Worth the WaitAll hail the mighty Paul Heaton! Lyrical genius and musician - you need to add this album to your collection immediately! Rating: - Now this IS Superbi!As someone who was barely satisfied with what could be The Beautiful South's last ever studio album, 'Superbi', I am more than pleased that Paul Heaton's second solo album is a far more raucous and memorable affair than many of the recent Beautiful South efforts. This is an album which, unlike 'Superbi', you will want to replay again and again. It has life, warmth, caustic wit and humour. It also has plenty of great memorable tunes (the single 'Mermaids And Slaves' is certainly as good as, if not better than, anything The Beautiful South have released this decade) and is packed full of brilliant lyrics which deal, often cynically and near-brutally, with the modern world and its often less than consistent inhabitants; "Let's fool and ... Read More: Rating: - Heaton has far surpassed my expectations...Although I enjoyed the final Beautiful South offering 'Superbi', it's not the one I'll be listening to frequently over the course of time. I think that I was kind of expecting Paul Heaton's 'Cross Eyed Rambler' to end up sounding reprocessed and lacking any life or originality. I am astonishingly blown away. I'm still in awe thinking....how could he still be writing such incredible music after so many years!'. One would think the creative well would run dry at one point but I can honestly say, it seems his creative well is far far from dry. This cd just reminds me of a perfect blend of his entire career, there's a hint and dash from the Housemartins, and really from every Beautiful South disc. Lyrically, he is still as brilliant and witty as ever. Cheers ... Read More: |
