I was always a fan of the Beta Band, but never fealt like they strung together a whole album (3 EPs included in that) that I particularly wanted to listen to all the way through again and again.
That's not the case with this collection. When I first had a listen to the previews above I thought it sounded a bit cold, but when I heard the whole songs they revealed themselves to be warm, beautiful and catchy. Sad but gently uplifting.
I buy way too many albums but this really is a standout.
Go get this gorgeous record. It keeps getting better.

Anyone with a passing interest in music will know the Beta Band nearly collided with the times but were just out of reach.
Steve Mason might be happiest being in the distance but Boys Outside is an incredible companion. This is an amazing, highly personal
record that emits real emotion. Not the nebulous grasping at platitudes of overblown Coldpatrol gestures but real raw-knuckle hurt, grief
and redemption. Boys Outside is the kind of record Nick Drake would make if he'd lived through adulthood. It doesn't sound like Nick Drake it sounds like the best pieces of 3Eps filtered through wisdom, melody and deep musical space. 'Am I Just A Man In Love" "I Let Her In"
"All Come Down". All masterpieces of introspection filtered through Richard X's Screamadelica meets Dennis Wilson production.
For the last ten years lonely boys in jumpers have been trying to make out that singer-songwriting is detuning a guitar and showing your feminine side to field full of people being twee.
Ignore all that. This is bruised music that's lived a little and come back from the brink, and listening to it makes you feel like you've made a new friend.
This is a real 21st Century masterpiece for any music lover.
You know the real thing when you hear it

Five great tunes do not make a brilliant album but 3 of the outstanding tracks (Lost & Found, All Come Down and Am I Just a Man) could well have come from The Beta Bands first 3 EP's. They are that good.....

Not the masterpiece some mags led us to believe it was
When The Beta Band appeared, they were so special among the rest of the "rock" bands of the era, so all over the place while still very good, that they soon became essential. Read more

great album...
I always loved the first 2 King Biscuit Time ep's and this is right up there - pure Steve Mason without the pressure of the expectations which destroyed the Betas. Read more

Outstanding return to form
Quite simply stunning. Each track provides achingly beautiful lyrics to a flow of soothing "liquid gold" music. Read more
