Title: Calculations
Product review: King of Yesterday is a commercial calculation that fails and succeeds in equal measure. Eccentric singer-songwriter Jude attempts to expand his fan base with these 11 pop songs, confining his oddball humor (and humanism) to a few near-novelty tracks, and laying on a sincerity that fits him like a cheap suit. Highlights include "The Not So Pretty Princess", "Sit Ups", and "Teenage Girlfriend" (the most desperately funny cuts here). Taste in covers: Bread's "Everything I Own" which is not - wrong - a joke. At least, not intentionally.
