This is a really great album, and includes two of the best singles in a long time (Made-up Love Song #43 and Trains to Brazil), as well as the epic Sao Paolo as the real highlights.

The rest of the album is very experimental, and takes a while to grow on you, but it's still initially a very good record, without only one track worth skipping when playing through.

In my humble opinion, possibly the greatest debut album ever, and I only use the word 'possibly' because I haven't heard every album around. Seems to skip around from uplifting to romantic to subdued, but it's always fresh and interesting, and, perhaps more inmportantly, unlike anything else around.
