Blue Is The Colour

Great album, but does feel maybe a hair bloated. I loved a few tracks of this album enough to elevate it to a firm 4 though!

It needed to grow on me, but in the end it still didn't. I found it more to be some background music

8/10. Really enjoyed this, but what's with that song in the middle role-playing as a Tom Waits song? Whose idea was that?

Kitschy pop with occasionally interesting lyrics. I had to check to see how close it was to done which by law goes from 3 to 2

Wow this was horrible. The quirky lyrics do not make up for the terrible, cheesy 80s lounge act music.

Sometimes you can judge an album by it's cover.

Very calm, soft pop, sometimes boring or slow

Blue is a kind of self-conscious indie record before its time; Not surpassing that, it gets points for creativity. The songs refuse to lock in place and the universality is first-order. Bad move: sacrifices almost all of it. I can easily imagine it as one's first Beautiful South record, don't have to imagine in fact.
