5.0 out of 5 stars One of the finest song writing doodles ever., February 21, 1999
By A Customer
This is a stunning collection of songs written with such imagination and intensity that you can easily overlook the 'basement quality of the recording. Checkout 'Aluminium Beach" on disk 1; and virtually every song on disk 2. An almost perfect album.

5.0 out of 5 stars Big yellow M, good night, and everything in between, December 20, 1999
By "bloodklot" (a tollbooth on the moon) - See all my reviews
Have you ever gotten the feeling that a lunatic was making fun of you? You know, their words don't quite fit their tone, they take you 'round a verbal curve too fast, and make you feel an odd shade of uncomfortable? You want to react, either by walking away or confronting the source, but you're just too damn entertained by it?

Me, too.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pure class by an all round genius !, February 4, 2001
By Anthony Gallivan "ajjgallivan" (Melbourne, Australia) - See all my reviews
There is not a single fault with Stephen Jones' song-writing ability. He is the sort of man who twists words into an almost parable-esque form and leaves the listener wondering at the depths of both his mind and his despair. Every title conjures up a new image, a form of almost cinematic intensity. From the darkly sad hidden tracks to the essential work from his first five albums, these are beautiful tunes with emotion stamped all over their sleeve. The tunes worm their way into your head and bounce uneasily, yet effectively, until you become obsessed and begin to consider litening to nothing else. Find the first five albums (and the subsequent larger label releases) and see the full picture...or buy his book "The Bad Book" and see a totally new side to this all-round genius.
