CD Information:
This is the seventh album from Hull's greatest musical export, the Beautiful South. A record for people who appreciate the importance of good lyrics and a well crafted musical backing that is never too clever for its own good or overshadows the lyrics. Paul Heaton has come up with a series of great songs telling tales of real life in his usual cynical, sarcastic style. The rest of the band have provided a set of jazzy, jaunty backings that perfectly compliment the songs and the various singer's voices. With a range of tempos and moods, there is something here for everyone. At their best when tackling everyday real issues such as getting old or infidelity, tracks such as `Till You Can't Tuck It In' and `Just Checking' are standouts, along with the irresistibly sing-a-longable `Closer Than Most' and `The Mediterranean'.
