Product Description

CD Description

Lloyd Cole's last album before an extended vacation spent raising his growing family in Manhattan and western Massachusetts, 1995's LOVE STORY is in many ways a return to the style of his three '80s albums with the Commotions. (That two key Commotions, guitarist Neil Clark and keyboardist Blair Cowan, play on the album makes the connection clear.)
Afterthe stylistic experiments of his previous three solo records, LOVE STORY feels like the work of the same hyper-literate--at time self-consciously so--tunesmith who made neo-folk-rock delights like RATTLESNAKES and MAINSTREAM. The wry, at times wistful, lyrics are mature reflections on love and relationships, as befitting the title. A graceful cover of the Chet Baker standard "Let's Get Lost" works better than you might expect, but it's the originals, among Cole's finest, which are the real treat.

4.0 out of 5 stars Lloyd Cole's confessional, 4 Feb 2000
By A Customer
A solid album from a highly underrated and amazingly talented musician. With compilations flying around the place one may think that Mr Cole has retired but this 1997 CD is further proof that the gift is still very much alive. I guess as progressions go this CD takes him where he has been heading since the first Commotions album. The road that others have travelled more successfully, such as Chris Issacs, but in doing so have displayed less talent and originality than Mr Cole. There are some wonderful songs as always with biting lyrical observations and the usual self deprecating wit. I didn't know that you cared, Love ruins everything and Like lovers do are the equal of anything else he has done but no truly sublime moments like Butterfly, Cut me Down or Sweetheart. I can't complain - overall this is a very strong album probably his most consistent for a while. If you are a Cole fan its must have and if not - what are you waiting for? Your'e missing out big time. This stuff is real music for big people. Buy it and soak in it, you won't have regrets.

5.0 out of 5 stars Long standing fan, 19 Mar 2007
By Mr. D-G (Maidenhead) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Love Story (Audio CD)
This album is simply Lloyds best solo effort & whilst several albums after this are very good they never reach the class of Love Story. The guitar & melodies on this album are achingly beautiful with many great memorable lyrics.

An underated album that really should have been more successful.

5.0 out of 5 stars Can't recommend highly enough, 10 Jun 2004
By A Customer
This is not a new album but it is one that every thirty something should have. These are not songs of defeat, but of experience, the unconquerable spirit of youth giving way not to cynicism, but to a realisation that no one can really do it all.

The first four tracks are 12 minutes of lyrical genius and it is a great pity Lloyd Cole never got the recognition he deserved. He's still out there though - so buy this and then buy the rest.

Its a very rounded album but mine has a different cover photo to the above. I bought in 1995 so maybe there are two covers nocking around? Read more
