The harsh criticism in this review seams rather surprising if you bear in mind that they voted this record as their “Album Of The Year” only half a year later. They then described it as “a deep, lush, brooding music that served to frame Smith’s vocal vulnerability with tarnished perfection.”. Of course there’s always a difference to be made between the opinion of a single writer and that of the whole editorial staff. But in my view the discrepancy shouldn’t be as big as in this case.

Thanks for this, and a big thank you for this excellant website. Its only flaw is the lack of 70s and 80s stuff. When i think of all those NME and Sounds i threw in the dustbin!!
Still a great site though. cheers
