Customer Reviews
Style Council at their very best
I played this album to death on vinyl. Having bought this on CD 3 years or so back it still sounds as good. The lyrics reflect the backlash to Thatcher's Government in the 1980's. "Homebreakers", "All Gone Away", "A Man of Great Promise", "Luck" and "With Everything To Lose" are all excellent tracks which show just how good the Style Council were. This was by far their best album.
The essential one.
If you're looking for 'the essential' Style Council album, 'Our Favourite Shop' is it. Apart from being a highly under-rated band in general, 'Our Favourite Shop' marks The Style Council out as one of the most important bands of the 1980's. Taking the disillusion of the nation at Thatcher's government and processing the need for CHANGE, Weller's lyrics are astounding. Images such as the false Milton Keynes set against working-class struggles and the ghost town inner city, 'Our Favourite Shop' is the soundtrack to everyone who was lost in the '80's. Buy this album, push it to the limits and SHOUT TO THE TOP!
One of the best album's ever, not just of the 80's
I purchased the CD album after having it on vinyl for so long. I hadn't listened to it in ages, but I remember not taking it off my turntable when I first bought it all those years ago. Listening to it again brought back to me just what an amazing album it is. The musicianship and songwriting combine very beautiful, uplifting, powerful, and sometimes poignant tunes.
This is by far one of the best album's ever, not just of the 80's
