Title: Beautiful
Review: What the heck is wrong with North American radio? I know...it's a rhetorical question but one that needs to be asked. Especially when it ignores wonderful albums like H.M.S. Fable. This is dense, fluid, passionate music rich in melodies, potent in vocals and song-writing. And, it's by yet another ignored Britpop band. There seems to be no stomach for bands like this one, Shed Seven, Cast, etc. in Canada and the U.S. And, it takes a huge label push to make Travis a "hit" here as well. More fool us. This is yet another album I recommend to people who think rock is dead. No way, No how. Michael Head is a superb writer and performer and the group scores on each of the album's 12 cuts. Check out "Comedy" in particular. It'll remind you of The Beatles, The Byrds, The Moody Blues and more sixties acts. Yet it has a bold, modern sound that hooks the listener in effortlessly and wonderfully. Superb music-making.
