Title: A shout out for dB's first record
Review: Lots of love here for "Repercussion," certainly well deserved--"Ask for Jill" is one of my all-time favorites. But to my ears the first record is actually a bit more radical, pure, inventive--"Espionage," "The Fight" (!), "Tearjerkin'," "Dynamite": now that's inspired pop music! On the one hand self-conscious, referential, post-modern neo-pop; on the other hand, fresh and teemingly imaginative as could be. Anyway, two wonderful records.
