Reviews3 stars out of 5 -- "There are times when HAPPY SOUP sounds like early 80s synth-pop performed by a gruff-voiced circus barker.", 3 stars out of 5 -- "Rhythms are cheap, melodies melancholy, and Dury half-sings, with sinister intent...", 4 stars out of 5 -- "HAPPY SOUP is a charm of an album, filled with heartbreaking and hilarious bon mots, and an artistic fearlessness.", 3 stars out of 5 -- "It's a bittersweet, Ealing Comedy of English life parlayed through cute melodies and deliberate amateurism..."
This is the first Baxter Dury cd I have bought. Until recently I hadn't heard of him and only bought the cd because of his parentage.(Ian Dury)
Must say that I an glad I took the plunge. This cd is amazing. The music is sublime and totally enhances Baxters voice. The poetry of the lyrics are great. THE WHOLE THING IS AMAZING.
Would highly recommend that you give him a go.
Heard the single, 'Miami', and thought it was great! Bought the album - fantastic! So then I went back to 'It's a Pleasure' - not quite as good as 'Miami', but still great! Then went out and bought 'Happy Soup'. Not as good as 'It's a Pleasure' but still a nice album with some really good tracks! So, buy 'Happy Soup', but then buy 'It's a Pleasure' and, more importantly, buy 'Miami'!!! What an album! (mind the language though....)
