Get Happy's a keeper. I just think the hybrid of new wave and blue-eyed soul makes for such an interesting sound, particularly with tunes like Possession, Secondary Modern and High Fidelity. There's even a tiny bit of reggae and ska on there too, so it's a reasonably diverse-sounding album. It's not quite among his absolute best (those'd be Spike, Trust and Imperial Bedroom), as there is a tiny bit of filler on there in my opinion.
