The Correct Use Of Soap Magazine SKU: 5782370 Barcode: 602557823707 18.00 £18.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Virgin Records Released Date: 31st January 2018 Buying Format: 180g 1LP Out of stock Back Order Add to your Wishlist Description Product Info This is something of a return to standard operational form for Magazine, who thawed after recording Secondhand Daylight to throw together an energetic batch of colorful and rhythmically intricate songs. It’s an unexpected move considering that they enlisted Martin Hannett (Joy Division, A Certain Ratio, Crispy Ambulance), master of the gray hues, as the producer. A looser, poppier album than its predecessors — somewhat ironically, a cover of Sly & the Family Stone’s “Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin)” is the most subdued song — it features the rhythm section of John Doyle and Barry Adamson at their taut, flexible best and guitarist John McGeoch at his most cunningly percussive. Save for the called-for razzle-dazzle on “Sweetheart Contract,” keyboardist Dave Formula takes more of a back seat, using piano more frequently and no longer driving the songs to the point of detracting from the greatness of his mates, as the most frequent complaint of Secondhand Daylight goes. Howard Devoto’s lyrics are also a little less depressive, though they’re no less biting. The closing “A Song from Under the Floorboards” — another near-anthem, an unofficial sequel to “The Light Pours Out of Me” — includes sticking Devoto-isms like “My irritability keeps me alive and kicking” and “I know the meaning of life, it doesn’t help me a bit.” His themes of distrust and romantic turbulence remain focal, evident in “You Never Knew Me” (“Do you want the truth or do you want your sanity?”) and “I Want to Burn Again” (“I met your lover yesterday, wearing some things I left at your place, singing a song that means a lot to me”). “Because You’re Frightened” is the closest they came to making a new wave hit, zipping along with as much unstoppable buoyancy as Lene Lovich’s “New Toy” or the Teardrop Explodes’ “Reward,” yet it’s all fraught nerves and paranoia: “Look what fear’s done to my body!” Song for song, the album isn’t quite on the level of Real Life, but it is more effective as a point of entry. ~ Andy Kellman Artist Magazine Genre Rock And Pop Label Virgin Records Buying Options 180g 1LP Format 180g , 1LP Condition New Country United Kingdom Track Listings 1 Because You're Frightened 2 Model Worker 3 I'm A Party 4 You Never Knew Me 5 Philadelphia 6 I Want To Burn Again 7 Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin) 8 Sweetheart Contract 9 Stuck 10 A Song From Under The Floorboards Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Magazine and more from Rock And Pop View Product Quick View Magazine Old World Charm Rock And Pop | Wire-Sound | 1LP Released 22nd April 2017 £15.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Magazine Old World Charm £15.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Wire-Sound SKU: RSD17060 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 22nd April 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Magazine No Thyself Rock And Pop | Wire-Sound | 180g, 1LP Released 24th October 2011 £21.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Magazine No Thyself £21.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Wire-Sound SKU: WIRED22 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 24th October 2011 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Teho Teardo Ballyturk Rock And Pop | Specula | 1LP Released 5th January 2015 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Teho Teardo Ballyturk £19.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Specula SKU: SPECULA006LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 5th January 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nearly New View Product Quick View Traffic Shoot Out At The Fantasy Factory Rock And Pop | Island | 1LP Released 29th July 2023 £35.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Traffic Shoot Out At The Fantasy Factory £35.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Island SKU: nn268241 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 29th July 2023 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View R.E.M.
