The second great pop album of 2006

  • January 23, 2006
  • Popjustice

The West End Girls album is now finished. The best songs are 'Love Comes Quickly', 'You Only Tell Me You Love Me When You're Drunk' and 'Suburbia' but 'we can exclus­ively reveal' that in fact the whole thing is a complete triumph.

The track­list­ing, for those of you who like to know about these things so that you can write them down in your little books of lists or whatever it is you do:

1. I'm Not Scared
2. Domino Dancing
3. Suburbia
4. Rent
5. Shopping
6. You Only Tell Me You Love Me When You're Drunk
7. West End Girls
8. Being Boring
9. Love Comes Quickly
10. It's A Sin
11. Jealousy

Looks like 'The Sound Of The Atom Splitting' didn't make the cut. :(

It feels a little odd to love a covers album quite this much, but let's just consider the evidence:

    * Amazing songs.
    * Amazing pro­duc­tion.
    * Swedish.

What's not to like? Don't forget that in normal cir­cum­stances a couple of Swedish girls appearing from nowhere with an album con­tain­ing these songs would prompt complete meltdown on and beyond the Popjustice forums. So let's just pretend that these are normal cir­cum­stances, right? Right.

Brilliant.
