Although generally regarded as a classic, I've never really completely warmed to this one. I generally dont mind his voice but on this recording I find it a bit irratating at times. Never found it an issue on his recent albums though.

I bought this on iTunes during a recent hospital stay and it's turned into one of my absolute favourites.

Earlier work is a little raw for me, the latest is too polished and lyrically stagnant. This one is a gem.

Very under appreciated band.What is it one album every 10yrs? To me they are a bit like the cocteau twins kinda out there flotating in a strange parallel universe
