The final installment of Sparks' so-called 'British Trilogy', before they returned to the US is also in many ways the strangest and the strongest. It certainly contains all their hallmarks - mundane or lascivious lyrical content, a unique way with a rock arrangement, Russell Mael's trademark falsetto delivery - but the input of producer Tony Visconti has gone some way to making this a far more sonically interesting album. Jazz arrangements and flourishes show up in many of the songs, most explicitly in "Without Using Hands" and the singles "Get in the Swing" and "Looks, Looks, Looks", while the charming "Under The Table With Her" shows great sophistication in its string quartet arrangement. The lyrical content is also among the band's strongest and most diverse - the very un-PC "Happy Hunting Ground" bemoans the fact that it's harder to get girls now that school days are long gone, "Pineapple" is nothing more than a close-harmony tribute to the titular fruit... you get the idea. When put together, it's impossible to pigeonhole the result - it is pure Sparks, and as such should be an essential addition to any self-respecting CD collection. The addition of three excellent bonus tracks is simply the icing on the cake. --Thom Allott
