4.0 out of 5 stars Hidden Gem, May 5, 2000

Laughter and Lust is an often-overlooked album. Admittedly, it is a recording that takes some work to get into, but it's well worth the effort. I didn't bother buying this album until I saw Joe Jackson perform "The Other Me" during a concert. This song left me transfixed and enraptured - I went out and bought this CD the next morning. Start with that song, but give the whole album a listen - it's very worth it. After all, some of the best art in the world is that which takes effort to enjoy. Laughter and Lust fits this bill nicely.

5.0 out of 5 stars One Of The Most Under-Estimated Albums, August 12, 2005

Professionally speaking it is indeed one of the most underated or under estimated albums made. It demonstates one of the best materials put together. It proves that sometimes you get the best albums at the lowest prices. I was at first skeptical of buying this album because usually when a musician puts out an album in the 90's or 2000's and it's cheap, it's either because the music store is over stocked or it stinks. But, when I heard this CD, I relized that I felt like I got a real bargain for once. Joe also demonstrates in this album that there is more to music than just love, like that song "Hit Single". The song, "Drowning" was the perfect song to end the CD. My favorite songs from this album is, "Stranger Than Fiction", "Drowning", "When You're Not Around", and the best, "In My House". It derserves a 5-star and a 10+.

4.0 out of 5 stars One of Joe Jackson's best efforts, February 15, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Laughter & Lust (Audio CD)

Probably one of the most overlooked and underrated albums of his career. I loved it from the opening build up of "The obvious song" to the fading off of "Drowning". Simply a must have for any fan of JJ, and any fan of music in general.
