Product Description

 
Finding a category into which the critics can slot them has been a problem for this excellent Scottish band. File under 'very good quality pop' no longer exists on the record label. For the uninitiated, they have the soulful, wandering nature of John Martyn, mixed with some anthemic U2, plus a tolerable dose of Deacon Blue/Simply Red. A strong synthesizer backdrop may deter, but the lush arrangements are truly lovely. Paul Buchanan has an emotive voice that is well suited to his melancholic material. Three albums in nearly 15 years is hardly prolific, but they are critically acclaimed and quality is always better than quantity.

A Brilliant Collection Of Love Songs

Date of Review:  Jan 1, 2007
The Bottom Line: A criminally underrated record that everyone should own.
Review: Released in 1989, Hats is the second album by the Scottish group The Blue Nile. There was a five year gap between their first album, A Walk Across The Rooftops and this record. Taking a long time between records would prove to be a career trend for...

Tasteful Pop, But the Dreariness Factor Begins to Take Hold

Date of Review:  May 27, 2007
The Bottom Line: This atmospheric collection of love songs is well written, beautifully orchestrated and intelligent --- But it's a little too monotonous for me.
Review: (Disclaimer: Those looking for a brief description of the album will find what their looking for in the "Album Overview" section. The section titled "Detailed Track Discussion" is meant only for those who want to read detailed descriptions of the...

The heart of both man and the city beat big throughout "Hats."

Date of Review:  Mar 16, 2008
The Bottom Line: The Blue Nile's revered second album remains an equally romantic and obssessive gem about love beneath the pretty, cold city.
Review: Ever since I reviewed Left of the Dial: Dispatches from the '80s Underground, that boxed set of alternative rock chestnuts released by Rhino Records, I have developed a strong appetite for the sounds of alternative rock in what seems to be its peak...
