Blue Is The Colour - The Beautiful South Reviews

~~~~~~~~~~~ INTRODUCTION ~~~~~~~~~~~ It is beyond doubt - in my mind at least - that a good song is formed of that rare combination of melody and lyrics. In my view, a song that sounds good but has no lyrical depth has little staying power - melody appeals to the heart, but lyrics are what engage the brain.

Blue is the colour is the sixth album that was released by The Beautiful South and it really is a very beauitfully written album. The album is considered to be one of the more depressing and is suppose to reflect on Paul Heaton's life at the time. I bought this album for £12 from Asda and it is now available for just £5 from ...  Read the complete review

After the epic style of 'Miaow' and the 10*platinum success of 'Carry on up the Charts', the Beautiful South were faced with a difficult decision of where to go next. Rather than carrying on where they left off, they changed to a more acoustic, folky style. 1.5 million people bought the album, perhaps on the strength of ...  Read the complete review

Blue is the colour is probably the worst album that The Beautiful South have produced. All there other albums have been fantastic, but this one was a bit hit-and-miss. There are some good songs like "Don't Marry Her", "Rotterdam" and "Liars' Bar" but there are also some tracks that I wasn't too keen on ...  Read the complete review
