The album is brilliant, but I am here to talk about shipping!
The album arrived in a sturdy cardboard record shipping box.
The album arrived in perfect condition not even any corner dent on the album cover.
Nice job CD Warehouse 817 for the Proper Shipping!

Editorial Reviews
His second solo album, following 2006's "Jarvis". Recorded in Steve Albini's Electrical Audio studio in Chicago, "Further Complications" contains the more roughed up tunes Cocker has been peddling since parting with Pulp. Look for him on tour this summer.

Britpop's most enduring rockstar, poet, funnyman and bon vivant returns with FURTHER COMPLICATIONS. With a familiar mix of raucous stompers and spoken/sung story-songs, the album finds Jarvis tackling all kinds of complications as he wanders supermarkets, museums and discos en route to the boudoir that's the center of his (imaginary?) hardcore life. As usual the lyrics display his sly Brit-wit. He gives advice to writers on "Further Complications": "Don't write a novel/A shopping list is better." He cracks jokes on "Leftovers" ("I met her in the museum of paleontology/And I make no bones about it") and "I Never Said I was Deep" ("But I am profoundly shallow.") He finds temptation hard to resist in "Angela" ("she's nearly 23") and "Homewrecker!" ("going down with all hands tonight"). But wakes up to disappointment in "Caucasian Blues" ("I've heard it said that you are hung/Like a white man.") He'll have his way with you if he can, but remember, it's all in fun and sometimes a song is just a "F---ingsong."

Came to find Jarvis late. Bought this CD here. Really enjoy it, solid. Bought it a long time ago so can't think through the details at the moment, was here reviewing something else, but if you like Jarvis, you will NOT be disappointed!

You either love him or hate him...if you love his droll humor and clever lyrics, this is a great set of songs from the master.

Jarvis Cocker's sophomore disc "Further complications" takes one back to the mid nineties when Britpop was at its peak with acts like Blur, oasis, and his alma mater Pulp. Filled with catchy upbeat rockers, it sounds even more Pulp-like than his eponymous debut.
Everything standouts really; the opening title track (with semi biographical lyrics - "I was 3 weeks late coming out of the womb, in no great rush to join the rest of mankind"), the Beatles-esque "Angela", the instrumental "Pilchard", the spoken/sung ballad "Leftovers", the ballad "I never said I was deep" (with vulnerable confessional lyrics), "Homewrecker" (with a nice long intro), the retro sounding ballad "Hold still", and the Bluesy Rocker "Caucasian blues" (with some frenetic drumming and fiery singing),
Other standouts are the spoken/sung ballad "Slush" (with lyrics on global warming, no less), and the lengthy groovy Disco-tinged closing cut "You're in my eyes (Discosong)" (which has spoken lo-fi sounding verses in his best Bowie impression, a "Theme from Shaft" meets Barry White chorus, and a droning coda). Edgy and experimental, my absolute favourite song on the disc!
This is an album that gets better the more you play it. Nice!

I've always enjoyed Jarvis Cocker's lyrics and songwriting, but have never been in love with Pulp's music. This solo offering seems to be designed for semi-fans like me. The stripped down and more "rawkin" approach to the music on this album works quite well. It works because the band is good and the songs well written and funny. Clearly Jarvis is enjoying himself here, giving the album a nice lift. F____ingsong and Caucasian Blues are my favorite rockers here - on C.B. Jarvis successfully chanels Johnny Lydon. Some of the more mellow songs, like Leftovers or Slush, are even better. The only flaw musically is the sax in Homewrecker, an otherwise great song. This is a fun mid-life crisis album. These songs about lust and aging could come across as creepy or misogynistic, but Jarvis is too smart and real to fall into those traps.

Jarvis Cocker is back again, and like his previous solo album,
Jarvis
, a lot has happened since you last heard from him. 2009 Jarvis is a changed man, but at times the new man sounds an awful lot like Pulp-era Jarvis.
Most of the album seems to be dedicated to the mid-life crisis man, hotly fumbling after the young twentysomething lasses who cross his path, still the same man who used women like Kleenex over ten years ago, but now knowing that he's past his prime and that "this is no 'mouth-watering proposition.'" He's still got to try though; it's almost like he really can't help himself.
There is just enough of a different side of the man, though, the wistful, wiser man who sees life passing him all too fast. "Hold Still" is a downright beautiful plea for time and the ones he loves to stop slipping through his fingers. It seems that with one hand he wants to hold time still and relish life, and with the other he wants to lift your skirt. Very contradictory, but very Jarvis Cocker.
Overall, though, I think this album comes together quite nicely and seems stronger than 'Jarvis' ever was. His voice is stronger, he's not afraid to scream, but he's also not afraid to whimper "you're everything to me" to her back as she's leaving for good. There is definitely more depth here as the album -- perhaps unintentionally? -- chronicles the end of a marriage and a middle-aged man once again thrust into the wide world, trying to figure out where he fits now. A touching and honest look into the mind of a great, if greatly flawed, man.

Looking forward to listening to this the first album is amazing so I expect the second will be just as thoughtful. Just as well read and giving a bit of hope within his music. Jarvis Cocker speaks for the people in my opinion and his music reflects that.
Long may his work continue.

Auch hier war die Gitarrensimulation am Kauf nicht ganz unschuldig. Habe mir das Album angehört und muss sagen, dass es sich in keine Ecke zuordnen lässt. Mal melancholisch, mal mit einem Augenzwinkern und beim nächsten Lied schon wieder auf einer ganz anderen Schiene.
Die Scheibe wird es wohl nicht zum Dauerrenner in meinem Player schaffen, doch enttäuscht bin ich vom Kauf nicht. Nach allem, was ich mir in den letzten Jahren an Rockmusik angehört habe, war das hier eine angenehme Abwechslung. Womöglich ist die Scheibe nicht jedermanns Geschmack, doch für Leute, die über den Tellerrand hinwegschauen, ist das Album nicht schlecht. Ich bin zufrieden mit dem, was ich hören durfte.
