3.0 out of 5 stars Not For Beginners... maybe.., February 2, 2003

By	tatu metsäpelto (Finland. How do you do?) - See all my reviews

First, this is a pretty good record, but in Nick Lowe standards it's not near his best work... of course there is a couple of real gems also on this album, but if you are a N.L. beginner, this may not be the first album to have... Man Of a Fool has fantastic tricky nicklowe-kind of lyrics and a nice melody and feel, How Do You Talk To an Angel is a jazzy piece, kind of song you sure dig if you like his recent albums, Time Wounds All Heels is nice too, so's Ragin' Eyes, but the rest of the album is filler kind of stuff, some of it is o.k., some kind of tongue in cheek made boogie woogie, but there is also four of five quite boring numbers you may be bound to skip... But, anyway, I never will sell my copy away, there isn't a bad Nick Lowe record made yet..!
