That being said, The Seeds Of Love is such a good album that it eclipses almost everything else I've ever spent time with. One of my all time favorite recordings ever.
I'd agree with all this. My surprise was that rather than be a pop record, like The Hurting or even SftBC, it's quite rocky in places and has some amazing songwriting. I agree they never would, or should, write a better album than TSOL, but this really comes a very close second. I think you would enjoy it Jansz. I didn't expect to and I was really quite blown away.
