    If they would have kept "Ask the Lonely,' and "Only the Young," on this album then it would have been their best ever. Otherwise while I like it, not one of "my" favs at least. (Yes, I realize it's subjective! LOL)

    Exactly my thoughts, they should have dropped Back Talk and another song from side two and replaced them with those two really good soundtrack songs.

    ...oh, yes, the Cocteau Twins - Head Over Heels should be in there. And Altered Images - Bite.

    Perhaps Pulp - It, too. Incredible to think their debut album predated that of the Smiths.

    This needs to wait until the 1984 thread, where it'll be in my list too. :)

    And by the time of the second Pulp album, they were about to split up.
