5.0 out of 5 stars A different turn for Belle and Sebastian, May 31, 2000
This review is from: Legal Man (Audio CD)
Legal Man is not the standard Belle and Sebastian record everyone expects. The title song is very strange and though I can't think of a comparison, I always think of Tjinder Singh's side project Clinton (although it really isn't the same.) "Judy is a Dickslap" is a very cool instrumental which catches all of the band members at their musical best. Finally, "Winter Wooksie," which is my favorite on the single, sounds very much like early Burt Bacharach meets Donovan, with a strange guitar part. All in all, a fine record.

5.0 out of 5 stars What's with the jock below?, May 31, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Legal Man (Audio CD)
Belle & Sebastian will probably prove to be one of the most difficult bands to exist in the coming years. Their albums have been wonderful in a very classic sense and have contained some of the most brilliant lyrics since Dylan's 60's days. Take Legal Man's love letter from a lawyer! Hilarious and spot-on!

This single is amazing for the simple fact that they refuse to give the people what they expect. Who the hell are the maisonettes? They can't sing a lick, in the best way possible. Where's Stuart's sad and sexy vocals? Where's that easy to follow melody and easy to be hip guitar part ripped from Johnny Marr? Nowhere to be found because Belle & Sebastian have got better things to do than please their critics. And I praise them for it.

Legal Man is coming back.

4.0 out of 5 stars BACK TO MONO, May 25, 2000
By 
"empty68" (Boise, Idaho USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Legal Man (Audio CD)
If nothing else, this nutty piece of RetroCheese proves what I've suspected for quite some time now: Belle and Sebastian is the most fearless band on earth. Who else would have the courage to release something so entirely out of character at this crucial stage of their career? And then actually be able to pull it off by having the darned thing rock so hard? I can't think of anyone....
