We are listening to the American version because it includes a great single which was not on Our Favourite Shop, the UK release.
Weirdly this album is even more eclectic than their first but also more cohesive.
It’s also much much more “adult”. Like it’s aiming straight for the post-mod swinger with the giant stereo console housed in a credenza.
Sometimes it’s cloying and dull (“The Lodgers”), other time it crackles (“Luck”) and, still others it’s perfection (“Shout to the Top”).
