Reviews4 stars out of 5 - "...You'll find yourself immersed inthe richest of musical tapestries, spotlighting every single aspect of love, from infatuation to splitting up....This is approaching genius.", Ranked #59 in Mojo's "100 Modern Classics" -- "Stephen Merritt's Magnum Opus.", Ranked #46 in Nme's "Top 50 Albums of the Year"., 8 out of 10 - "...If he isn;t the greatest songwriter of his generation, he's certainly the greatest sponge.", 4 stars out of 5 - "...This is a boundlessly entertaining expose of what happens when you mix fine words with excellent melodies to make great songs.", 10 out of 10 - "...a grand gesture and a brilliant joke; art about the most personal emotion stamped out in bulk; and a love offering in its own right....pop has not seen a lyricist of Stephin Merritt's kind and caliber since Cole Porter...", "While the dramatics are fun, the set's lasting power comes from how Merritt so consistently relates these brutal love stories with such an incredible economy of language.", 3 stars out of 5 - "...His grandiose, bare-assed lyrics can be catty, crude and sometimes full of sappy goo, but they usually contain a little universal truth....melodies that hark back to Eighties synth popper like Orchestral Manoeuvers in the Dark...", "...An album that could easily occupy your whole life with its witty, intellignet, infuriating, smug and brilliant ways, a dazzling mass of contradictions that you can't help but love...", 4 out of 5 - "...against all odds it shines form beginning to end....Stephin Merritt's most ambitious, eccentric and eclectic recording to date...", Ranked #16 in CMJ's "Top 30 Editorial Picks for 1999 - "...a reminder that a finely rendered pop song, no matter how cynical, can approach the status of art.", "...69 elegant observations by a pop master, employing myriad genres, instruments, and neuroses. All charm, but by set's end, you're ready for more." - Rating: A

  • Huge variety

    It is a triple album with almost endless variety. It does get a bit Show tunesy but that is ok too
