“Apron Strings” feels like the classic for its songwriting alone, but my summer-after-high-school mixtape was called Lonesome for a Place I Know. Going with that one.

It's between 'I Always Was Your Girl,' 'Blue Moon Rose,' and 'Lonesome' for me.

Ooh, picked this up on my last EBTG shopping trip. I'll play it again tonight.

Don't ever change. I call you Jimmy, they call you James.

i went with "i always was your girl"

after going through a lot of their discography recently i think this is my favourite of theirs

Totally forgot I had a tube-station-sized poster of this album cover on my dorm-room wall one year.

Their songwriting didn't level off but their production skills improved; I'll take Worldwide, Amplified Heart and Walking Wounded

Also: The Language of Life is a fascinating stab at a big budget L.A. Anita Baker album that work.

i just adore these sort of sophisti-pop arrangements, even more than what they did afterwards

I still listen to Temperamental as much as any of their discs. Love these guys.

that's not my post, Monday, 31 August 2020 00:36 (three years ago) link

yep

interesting results!

i also must concur re: temperamental — it's probably my second favorite album of theirs, after this one.
