A Disc Dabbled with Despair and Buoyant Pop March 21, 2007
W. Wilson (Boxborough, MA)
Wow, five star reviews all around for this disc. I have to join the club.
This time around Duffy's joined by Aimee Mann and Andy Partridge on several songs. There's a great mix here of dark self-observation (usually by Duffy, his six string, and little, if any, accompaniment) and buoyant pop. "What If I Fell in Love with You?" is a standout track that fades out in a smoky haze of guitar effects and hippychick vocals. (Get out the lava lamp!) Then the disc segues into "Something Good," a jaunty, Beatles (It's Getting Better), Small Faces, Blur (circa 1996) number with a brief a capella ending.
It's not all Sugar High, though - "The Postcard" and "Autopsy" ground the album in dark moodiness.
Clever lyrics, great arrangements...a masterful and criminally ignored recording.
Something Good, indeed... June 9, 2006
Josh M. Slifkin (Pittsburgh, PA)
This is an amazing album, from start to finish, full of melodies, hooks, and some darkly beautiful moments. Duffy remains one of the best singer/songwriters of all time. Buy this.

Is there no end to this man's talent and creativity? Fortunately for us, it seems as if there isn't. Having been a fan of Stephen's folk-pop mastery in The Lilac Time since the late 80's, I must tell you that this (and all of his) edgier guitar pop sounds just as natural, as organic, and as beautiful as any of his TLT work. No songs will be skipped on this CD, I assure you....if you are a fan of XTC, Elvis Costello, Nick Lowe, Matthew Sweet, etc. you must own this album. Like the aforementioned artists, Stephen's work takes a perfectly modern stance while firmly shaking hands with the more "vintage" sounds of previous eras. If you need it in Beatlespeak, think Rubber Soul/Revolver. Just get it, and anything else of his you can get your hands on. OK?
Why isn't this guy famous/ a god?! April 6, 1999

Duffy is the Big Star of the current generation. soon, we will hear how bands were influenced by this little-known genius. Any other Duffy fans out there?!?! Everytime i see something like Korn on MTV, i wonder if melody and brillant lyrics are "out". I guess so.
Duffy does it again November 19, 1998

For anyone wanting to get into music that is extremely accessible and yet vastly underrated, this is an album for you. It has been way too long since the release of Music in Colours, and I was wondering what happened to this 80s wunderkind...but he has produced a very balanced album with some great tracks, and the hallmarks of Lilac Time (great lyrics) and catchy Britpop melodies are stronger than ever. It was certainly gonna be difficult to follow up on Music in Colours given the great combo of Duffy and Nigel Kennedy, but there is no doubt in my mind that this album is as good, if not better. Certainly recent involvement in writing songs for Canadian band Crash Test Dummies shows through. A definite buy.
