Hot Buttered Soul

Not their most innovative, but their most raw. Plus an incredible collection of rock songs. Their best album.
A wonderful album - emotional, poppy, silly/serious.
First time listening to it in full. Solid prog rock, done really fun bits here and there. I think I missed it by 30 years, I would have loved it in my teenage years.
It’s a masterpiece. Although not my favourite of theirs, you can’t deny the genius. Yes, it’s self indulgent at times, but there’s still a cohesion that will be gone in the next album. A seminal album that packs a lot of emotion and self discovery.
Pure perfection. I still remember hearing it for the first time and being blown away. The simple and catchy hooks, the dumb/profound lyrics infused with biblical references, and of course the interplay of Charles and Kim’s voices.
This is the one where they got into their groove. Not yet the genius of Bakesale but still so many bangers.
