AllMusic[1]

It has since been disowned by the band's lead singer/songwriter Neil Hannon due to its stylistic difference from the band's later works, heading towards a more R.E.M.-styled jangle pop direction than their more distinctive orchestral pop output. "The Rise and Fall" was later re-recorded for the Timewatch EP (1991).

gollark: The best thing I can think of *now* is some sort of toggleable indicator for "potentially uncomfortable topics" in channel names or something.
gollark: That's post-decrement, *is* it one less?
gollark: > it might not be portable to other places.I have explained why I think this.
gollark: It's interesting to actually look at the ethics and underlying causes and whatever instead of just "no discussing this"? We have a cool and rare thing here and it might not be portable to other places.
gollark: Well, you might have, but we don't seem to have had particularly in-depth discussions of possibilities, and one person looking over it isn't great.
