Guitar pop in its purest form

About the Go-Betweens and the indie pop of the 80's I eventually stumbled on the now living in the United States, coming from Scotland, songwriter Lloyd Cole. At first his Commotions me who remembers the good old Smiths - the rhythm guitar sound like Johnny Marr and Cole's vocals often recalls the falsetto of Morrissey. But finally, it was also about the same time, the 80s, made in the good bands like these two exceptional and even more may be estimated otherwise abysmal.
Lloyd Cole is an intelligent songwriter, not as snappy as Morrissey, rather a silent Poet & more cautious observer, and he packs his lyrics in immensely pleasing melodies that often sound a little "happy" than with the Smiths, but usually referred to as melancholic be allowed. The "Go-Betweens" struck me as most likely as a parallel.
"Perfect Skin", "Speedboat" "Mission Street" "2CV", "Are you ready to be heartbroken", "Patience" ... can be described as his classics undoubtedly, and the whole album contains hardly a failure. The 4 bonus tracks of this re-issues are very first guitar pop-cream (about the wonderful "Sweetness").
