Album Notes & Community Reviews

Introducing Jacqui Abbott as their new female co-vocalist, the highly successful British outfit continues their tradition of pairing incredibly sweet melodies with bitter, cynical lyricism. The record utilizes lush, sophisticated pop arrangements to camouflage Paul Heaton's dark observations on alcoholism and failing relationships.
