As the advert says, still got it .
He's a funny old bugger ain't he? He hits form here and is seemingly in the mood to produce some of his favourite things, skewed sleaze and mawkish sentimentality, often in the same sentence. He still manages to ensure that he can destroy the flow by including songs such as average guy and classic lou-isms " I used to look at women in the magazines , I know that it was sexist, but i was in my teens" from his ode to the opposite sex on the track Women.
Joined by the superb, sadly ,a little under used Robert Quine, Reeds ,as the New York times wrote " hard,thoughtful,unflinching songs" pretty much flow along rather nicely. The NME review contains the line " smarmy self-satisfaction" oh well.
I love it, he is magnificently grumpy and pathetically coy. It is probably top 5 for me , maybe even top 3.
Give it a spin preludinestas, you might like it, now most of you are grumpy , yet sentimental old farts.
