Always one of my favorite "pop" albums (in quotes because there's more to it than that). The band's mature album and for me absolutely their masterpiece, with all the other (great) works trailing behind in its wake. A killer sequence of tracks, from "School" to the fantastic title track (one of their best melodies, and can we talk about Helliwell's sax solo at the end?), passing through "Bloody Well Right," "Rudy," "Asylum," etc. On a desert island, I'd gladly save a spot for it. A perfect album, with a wealth of ideas that deserves applause and not a single flaw.
