In
my view the title alone means it has to be owned - however - for many
that is not a good enough reason, so to those I strongly suggest a listen.
If you liked squeeze then you really will love this, I would have to say
that this is by far and away his best work, a comment I don't make lightly.
But lyrically every detail is taken with careful care and consideration,
from the obviously personal to the not so much.
The second song is a personal favourite having heard Chris tell the story
about how he wishes he'd been around more for his children this song highlights
his feelings on this.
This really is a must own album.

Ok,
let me attempt to summarise - surreal, cow bell, lyrical genius. I'm afriad
thats about the best I can manage and yet here we have one of the most
original modern albums (I'm not entirely sure modern is fair). But this
album truly is worth a listen if you like to be forever amazed at an albums
lyrics as you sit and listen and think "what did they just say".
This album also never gets old, as I can put it on over and over again
and never tire. And why are their not more cow bells in music.
"I want to row you across the ocean so blue Till we find the man
who kissed all the women in Japan"
