The Billy Bragg song is odd. The rest of the album is very consistent in style and attack, but the Bragg song sounds like a different band, in a different mood, in a different studio, in a different country. It's an intreesting track, but you have to change to listen to it.And asis it is number 2 on the album, it's quite a disconcerting lurch.
   A very interesting record...the singing of "Tom Brown", particularly the first verse, I found quite sublime.
