Reviewed by Callum Ashworth, 247 Album Verdict

A sharp, ironic song-cycle of American satire and lush arrangements. Clever and acclaimed. His masterpiece. The single record that earns them a spot in the catalogue.

On vinyl: Both originals and reissues can sound excellent — the mastering matters more than the era.
