Title: One of The Greatest Albums of the 1980s
Review: Andy Partridge of the seminal British Alternative rock band 'XTC' once said of the album "English Roundabout" that the songs were all "either too dark, too long, or unfinished". I truly believe that he was being far too critical of himself and this masterpiece of Alternative Rock.When I first bought the Import version of this album in 1982, it honestly did not leave my turntable for the next month! I had, to that point, only experienced a small handful of albums that moved me on so many different emotional levels. I could not get enough of it! To this day, some 29 years later, when I play this collection the songs sound just a fresh, polished, and unique today. These songs, in my humble opinion, have stood up very nicely to the test of time and is, perhaps, THE quintessential XTC album.
