Customer Reviews of Swoon
Aged like the finest wine! I recently dropped Swoon into the CD player in my car and was transported back in time. After ten or fifteen years it's great to find that Swoon still seems to capture colors and sounds which would go unnoticed if not for the work of Prefab Sprout. This album should be required listening for any dreamer. In a very real way, it clears the palate of much of today's weak pop music. Ah SWOON!!!!
The gift that keeps on giving
Twelve years ago when I was a sophomore in college I picked up the Sprouts' debut album. Long after I've outgrown and become bored with the silly simplicity of most all of the pop music I listened to back then I keep peeling back the layers of this succulent sonic onion. Paddy McAloon's later songwriting for Prefab Sprout often treads a thin line between the inspired and the maudlin/pretentious but this early stuff is spot on. Literate and evocative of landscapes comprising the human heart and the northern English countryside, these songs stick with you. They're musically and lyrically complex and stand the test of time. This is not your standard 4/4 pop album. The melodies are sometimes syncopated and the meters vary from 3/4 to 7/4. There's some dissonance in the melodies at times. If you want to rock, stay away from this album. If you want to think and be moved, turn it on. I wore out a vinyl LP and a cassette of this stuff before I splurged for the more durable CD format.
