Reviews3 Stars (out of 5) - "...a remarkable piece of work. At least three or four tracks--the sublime, drifting dreamscape of `Angel,' for instance--could have made Friday a household name....perhaps his over-reliance on...theatrical flourishes...has prevented him being taken to the contemporary breast...", 7 (out of 10) - "...the best work that Friday has put down on record for years; while some of it harks nostalgically to early-'80s electronic cabaret...the album...fits in with such '90s defining sounds as Portishead or Tricky. Friday creates a more ominous vibe, part `Cabaret', part Cabaret Voltaire...", "...still as dramatic and angst-ridden as ever, but this time the songs...are awash in samples and beats, primed for the dancefloor...", "...he effortlessly straddles the line between barfly poet and 21st century Las Vegas headliner....SHAG TOBACCO is a night out on the tiles that takes in pre-war Berlin, Lou Reed's dazzling transvestite New York, Marc Bolan's epochal `The Slider' and Dublin's late night transients..."

  • Some lovely music

    I bought this as I enjoyed "Angel" on the "Romeo and Juliet" soundtrack. Some good tracks on this, such as "You, Me and World War Three." It'll take me more listens to go above three stars - might be a "file under grower."
