"The Walls Keep Saying Your Name" is also (shock) a rather good sad ballad!

Extra good bit: on "I Won't Change You", she sings about all the things she might change, but says "But I'll still change my underwear". It's good. As is "Party In My Head" which has a solid, cute, rhyming quadruplet involving Mister Ed.

I have only heard the album once, not really properly. I don't really expect it to be very great, much as Read My Lips wasn't very great, but I do expect it to be deep-mined for wonderful standalone singles.

There aren't any standalone singles as good as "Murder", "Get Over You" or even the usually-forgotten "Move This Mountain", but it's pretty good overall.
(i.e. better than Three)

Why did she never release Lover? why why why? she crazé. What's the Bernard Butler one like on the new album?
― Alex in Doncaster (Alex in Doncaster), Wednesday, 29 October 2003 14:34 (twenty-one years ago)
It's very good, one of the best. It's not dissimilar to "If You Can't Do It When You're Young..." really, except without the loud bit at the end.
The non-release of "Lover" is indeed criminal - I think it was supposed to be but got shelved when the album got repackaged and the new tracks got put out instead.

Currently one of four things in rotation in my head, alongside The Dirtbombs and Camera Obscura's new albums, and the mighty (MIGHTY) 'Laura' by Scissor Sisters. Which everyone needs, now.

I had to conceded that "Mixed Up World" or whatever it's called actually grew on me. (In a way that her new blonde locks just didn't.)

Or else had Alex James in a RAF pilot outfit. (Regardless of whether he played on the song or not.)

also: the blonde hair looks well in the video, but suits her terribly when she's making pouty faces in the booklet.

I think Sophie moved hers forward two weeks, and it's going to get totally buried, probably missing the top 10. Such a shame. Hopefully she'll go with "Walls Keep Saying Your Name" or "You Get Yours" next, perhaps a double A-side. Double A-sides are good. Having said that, it'd be wonderful if she just said "fuck the chart" and put out "I Am Not Good..." and laugh as it missed the top 20...

Using your lower body? I think not! It's a hand dance sort of thing. Maybe given that she's pregnant, she'll do a video where you don't see anything below the waist and she'll be FORCED to hand dance!
