专辑介绍

by William Ruhlmann

It stands to reason that a Lloyd Cole album called Love Story would not have a happy beginning or middle, much less ending. Actually, though, it does start out happy, &Trigger Happy,& that is, and later on, Cole is &Happy for You,& in which he sings, &If you love him, you should leave me.& In between, things get no sunnier, as Cole and his characters drink and despair, but carry on. That determination is very much part of Cole's negative world-view: &Everybody knows this is nowhere,& he says, to coin a phrase, &but you've gotta be there.& (Except, one supposes, for Lucy, who jumps from the 39th floor in the rollicking &Let's Get Lost.&) Typically, Cole couches these sentiments in melodic folk-rock, such that, with the volume low and just following the attractive lilt of his voice, a listener might find this a far more soothing piece of music than it turns out to be on closer examination.
