CD Reviews

No soul, you won't like this....

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Cost of Loving got a bad rap. A bad rap song too. No matter, no one in the eighties seemed to have a sence of humour, or a sence of grace like TSC did. I've always felt good listening to their records. Although this is not their best effort, I had to write in defence of the review you first see. This journalist obviously does the whiteman's overbite and has to be dragged out onto a dance floor DRUNK to have a good time! The ninties could have you used a challenging band like TSC...make you question yer suroundings and yer heart....that's what they do and did for me.Lou"

"Why is it that in the 80s - 00s the idea of a fully-realized concept album is laughed at by critics and shunned by buyers?If you were to buy an album with songs that were worth humming to (as the first journalist suggests) you would be better off sticking to teeny bop no-talent/no-songwriters like B. Spears and B.S. Boys.Cost of Loving is smack dab in the middle of all TSC's concept albums. It's not an easy listen first time around, but after a while you really get it and the grooves. There is an underlying theme, and the fact that each song transitions to the next like a story or dream is something you feel rather than think about.The music like all of TSC's works is something you experience on a personal level, piece by piece. Don't be fooled by the easy sounding tunes. It's more complicated and layered that Weller's pure anger in the Jam and post TSC. Trust me, go out and pay the price for The Cost of Loving, and get ready to spend the next few months letting it make a personal impression, you cheapskate!"
