5.0 out of 5 stars 13 years into their career, their masterpiece, December 27, 2002

The title above says it all. Anyone familiar with TBW knows that this is their pinnacle. For those unfamiliar, think "Mummer" era XTC, a quieter My Bloody Valentine, a more earthy New Order, or (as has been said before elsewhere), a sad Beatles! Quite simply, if you ever loved any of the above mentioned giants, or crave well-crafted, intelligent and melancholy pop (as I do), you need this album.

5.0 out of 5 stars One Gorgeous Pop Record to Luxuriate in, January 24, 2008

It's everything Mr. Bonner said it is and more. A great record to lie around on a sunny lazy weekend afternoon with some lemonade, or a rainy Tuesday evening curled up with a book and a lap cat. I hear some later-stage Go-Betweens musical stirrings in there as well. Good production values enhance these pop gems. Add The Black Watch's "Jiggery-Pokery" to your collection now. You'll be very happy that you did.
