5.0 out of 5 stars Like an old friend, 4 Oct 2006
By John Tree "Finding the good stuff" (Poulton-le-Fylde, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: If You're Feeling Sinister (Audio CD)
This was the first Belle & Sebastian album I bought, and to me, it is very special ... none of the others seem somehow as complete. I believe this is the second offering from the Scottish recluses, and the retro-sounding songs, reminiscent of early to mid seventies Al Stewart, are wonderfully catchy, and as easy to settle into as an old pair of slippers.
These simple, gentle, confessional tunes are real growers, and they stay with you long after the CD has gone back in the case. Piano, or guitar based, they are deeply personal, with well observed lyrics sensitively delivered, covering tales of youth and rights of passage and intimate relationships. The romantic bookish imagery creates a yearning whimsy in the listener, and paints a real picture as only songs taken from painful truths can.
And just like an old friend, they reward each time you come back to them with fresh insights. Heartwarming

5.0 out of 5 stars a gentle touch of brilliance, 19 Mar 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: If You're Feeling Sinister (Audio CD)
Every now and then, an album appears that, from start to finish, has you utterly transfixed. This is one of them. Possibly the best of the three and certainly the record to buy if you're new to B+S. Lyrically, it's stunning. Musically, it stays just the right side of twee to be beautiful. The best songs? Fox in the snow and If You're Feeling Sinister, with all the others coming only just second. Definitely one for Sundays and rainy days. Think wistful, think Le Petit Prince and Madeline... a record to drink tea by.

5.0 out of 5 stars Its just amazing, 28 Aug 2004
This review is from: If You're Feeling Sinister (Audio CD)
I have been a listener of a few scottish bands over the years.I would be in the fanclub of bands such as Teenage Fanclub,BMX Bandits,cosmic rough riders also belle & sebastian.I am a huge teenage fanclub fan and bmx bandits fan and although many of my friends listened to belle & sebastian i never really gave them much of a look.I call those the dark days.This album is just the bees knees and I can't stress that enough to you the buying public.I am now a big b&s fan and if you enjoy melodic genius then this is your ticket.I believe they are the modern day poets that we are lacking in these days.As they put it themselves "nobody writes them like they used to so it might aswell be me" and they are right.To me the music is beautiful and inventive with brilliantly genius lyrics.I say buy it listen and listen because its definetly a grower.I think most belle & sebastian music grows on you until one day you realise just how good it really is.Top marks and I recommend it to you and your goldfish.
