Thoughts

Adore this album, lots of great songs and I like the blend of Paul and Jacqui’s voices, and the way they work together and apart. The singles are great, but I particularly love Little Blue, a real favourite. My only complaint is with Liar’s Bar, as the gravelly voice drills way into my ears and makes my eyes want to fall out.

Rating: 5 / 5
