3rd studio album by The Beautiful South with a new producer, which basically is the best thing about the album. The band line-up as a sextet remain the same as on the previous album, but it's the last to feature Briana Corrigan, who left the band in '92 to pursue a solo career. This was the first album I bought with the band, and I always found it rather good, but also a bit on the dull side, which is hard to explain. Maybe it just stays a bit too much on the same track, and then, despite several good compositions, the best being "We Are Each Other", I don't find that it contains any really great tracks. Mind you, this is, however, by no means a mediocre or irrelevant album.
