i don't understand how people are claiming this to be their BEST album. it seems pretty weak to me. tigermilk, dear catastrophe waitress, if you're feeling sinister, and the boy with the arab strap: i can't rank them according to one another because i feel they're all equally brilliant. I can, however, place the life pursuit at the bottom of the pile. maybe on par with fold your hands. actually no, the bottom.

I love it as much as their old stuff. I can't understand how anyone can *only* prefer one thing or another

i agree HighOnSunday51. i honestly can't understand why many B&S fans don't like this album. i actually think the lyrics on this album are some of my favorites.

this lack of confidence, fragility and gentleness was their greatest advantage! most likely that's why i fell in love with them. and they've lost this quality. tell me, if the lyrics are better than before? i don't think so. i accept the music totally, but not the lyric, agrrrrrr!

.. their albums. On a work like this, lyrics aren't necessarily the main focus. I still think the lyrics are fine on this album but I don't think bands need to keep the same lyrical content throughout their catalogues. It's nice they changed it up a bit. This album's brilliant!

This is definitely their best album. It holds a sense of ease and confidence that their other albums don't have. It's unbelievably beautiful, uplifting and full of spirit. I don't think there's a bad song on the entire album. I don't think this album is vacant at all. I feel more emotion on this work than lots of their other albums. It works as a wonderful, uplifting counterpart to the rest of..

umberto71 > vulgarity is too big word, but i know what you mean. let's compare 'white collar boy' (the worst lyric on the album, and video too, IMO.) with any lyric from 4 first albums. the difference is obvious! 'funny little frog' is lovely, 'to be myself completely' is pretty nice, but actually, lyric are thing that make this album much worse in my eyes. hope stuart won't be following that tren

I bought the vinyl of this the other day, after only having the mp3 for ages. Listened to it this afternoon while giving the lyrics and liner notes a good read. Bliss.

quote: so sunshine and happiness = vulgarity? No, this is a misreading of my opinion. There is no such thing as sunshine and happiness on this record. If anyone thinks so, clean your ears. Listen to dirty dream #2! Become aware of the balance between lyrics and music. TLP is pretty vacant... (with the exception of funny little frog)

This took me longer than TBWTAS and Tigermilk to get into, but it is a superb album.

it's different, but still good. i love this melancholic side so much, but TLP isn't bad at all. the only thing i quite don't like are the lyrics.

i love how this album is generally upbeat and very poppy, with the exception of dress up in you (though that song is so sad and great).
