Title: If you like the Beautiful South ...
Product review: If you're reading this, you must be the other person in the U.S. who is a fan of The Beautiful South. This is the first solo album by Paul Heaton, the main singer/songwriter from TBS. Most of these songs could pass for TBS songs. This is a great pop album. It's wonderfully produced, with a thick sound, layered with a vairety of instrumentation. The melodies are catchy of course, and after a few listens they become addictive. The lyrics are meaty, though you'll probably have to consult the lyric sheet to understand what he's saying a lot of the time. The mood of the lyrics is typical TBS - cynical, clever and fun. The first single, "Mitch," is one of the weaker songs on th album. The best tracks are The Perfect Couple, Man's World, and Poems ...
