Album Notes & Community Reviews

The British band's debut album introduces frontman Dr. Robert's uniquely suave, jazz-inflected approach to alternative pop. 'Limping for a Generation' weaves sophisticated blue-eyed soul elements into sharp new wave structures, establishing an eclectic, highly literate aesthetic. It laid the foundation for the group's transition into major commercial success later in the decade.
