As for the album, I just can't stop listening to the Turkish Song Of the Damned - one of the catchiest melodies I've heard (for the first time) in quite a while. It's not quite Rum, Sodomy and the Lash but it's still a wonderful piece of work.

Absolute ace of a song is Turkish Song Of the Damned but then the entire album has no weak spots for me. Thousands Are Sailing is a wonderful tale of emigration and Fiesta is a true drinking foot stomper. I just am of the opinion that their was a general maturity in both the melodies, lyrics and the production so I actually prefer it as a package over Rum, Sodomy and the Lash though we are discussing degrees of excellence. I can dig both albums out occasionally and still thoroughly enjoy them after all these years.
