Their musings of dead relationships, of lost affairs, of one day spontaneously packing your bags and moving out of town, somewhere else, far away, somewhere where nobody knows who you are and what you did, only to walk down the street and suddenly fall in love with someone who looks just like your ex-wife, is easily pictured sung in a seedy lounge bar in Barkingside or Tamworth as much as in Buenos Aires or, I dunno, Cape Town.
Because that's the thing: the greatest art knows neither time nor place; it's free of cultural and periodical contraints. In other words, it's universal, and this is precisely what Tindersticks so wonderfully encapsulated at their creative peak, which just happens to be this album. [First added to this chart: 01/02/2017]
And what an album! There's the scathing dismantling of lad culture in Just A Girl She Said; there's Stars, which according to Hillier was written as a tribute to a shut-down nightclub in Newcastle, but with lyrics ambivalent enough that I personally interpreted them as a testament to how basically every British town centre became a no-go area after Friday pub closing time (a theme VERY prevalent with me during my teenage years); there is OBVIOUSLY the superb Not So Manic Now, often praised for its kitchen sink realism and one of the most striking examples of melody/lyrics juxtaposition out there. There's St. Swithin's Day, which underlined that Dubstar were a band that really knew how to do covers.
If asked to name one album that typified life in mid-90s Britain, I wouldn't quote Morning Glory or Great Escape or any of their Britpop brethren since most of these were either delved in caricature or desperate attempts to rekindle the swinging sixties, much of which was based on mythology anyhow (a lot of Britpop, great and exciting as it was, was never more than a photocopy of a photocopy, though let's face it, all postmodernism is). Much the same way you tear at the edges here and find undeniable darkness underneath the colour, the beautiful melodies and Sarah Blackwood's angelic voice, Disgraceful is basically about a Britain that seems prickly, colourful and confident on the surface but is already slowly but surely falling apart at the seams. On the whole, Disgraceful is an underrated and essential album. [First added to this chart: 07/06/2017]

The memories, man!
I was in my first year at Uni the end of this year.
A lot of these albums are the soundtrack to my youth.
Wow. You got a lot in common with me. And they're all awesome albums.

A lot of hard work happens in the background to keep BEA running, and it's especially difficult to do this when we can't pay our hosting fees :(
