Title: Long Shelf Life
Product review: "Music in a Foreign Language" showcases a slightly more wistful side of Lloyd Cole. The music and arrangements are understated when compared to much of his earlier work, while the lyrics offer the jaded perspective of a man on the verge of middle age who's "been there and done that." "No More Love Songs", originally on Cole's previous album "The Negatives", appears in a stripped-down acoustic version, while a cover of Nick Cave's "People Ain't No Good" is aptly chosen for its relentless cynicism. It's a mature work displaying the talents of a thoughtful and skilled songwriter.
