1984-1989 (CD)
Lloyd Cole
Amoeba Review
Tiffany Anders 12/01/2010
Gathering material from the glory years of Lloyd Cole And The Commotions, this collection does not disappoint, delivering such perfect melancholy pop classics as “Perfect Skin,” the groovy “Rattlesnakes” (off the brilliant first album of the same title), and the breezy and beautiful “Jennifer She Said.” Similar in sound to other heartfelt Scots like The Blue Nile, Lloyd Cole And The Commotions produced crisp and clean material that also explored heart-piercing lyrical depths. This collection does a brilliant job of showcasing the band and is an ideal starting point for those looking to get familiar with the group.
