Played Alex Chilton and his legendary band Big Star on the first two albums still terrific power-pop (and has been using this Americanized version of the Kinks as a model by bands like The Knack, Teenage Fanclub, Velvet Crush, etc.), so on the other hand became the third work to one of the saddest records of all time, with the exception of a few songs in the classic power pop style in terms of inner conflict and despair in a line is the also the beginning of the 70 published masterpieces "Songs Of Love And Hate" by Leonard Cohen and "On The Beach" by Neil Young. Although not staged bleak in the strict sense, this album is yet further away from pop music as diverse gothic bands, since subtlety is replaced in preference to too plakativem Expressionism. Especially the apparent casualness of elegies contained herein ensures the more intensive effect, the not ideal album for frequent listening, but well-measured will be experienced.
