I've always liked them, but I only have the first one and a series of unreleased tracks. Is that serious?? But is this album good or does it suck like orangutans, olè??

I adore Joe Jackson, an artist I’ve followed since his debut and whose complete discography I own. He is one of the most eclectic artists the pop/rock/jazz scene has ever seen, from the 70s to the early 90s. If you want to get to know him, I recommend his early works, which I believe are closer to your tastes. No dramatics in the style of Tom Waits, but a flair and a boldness that’s quite remarkable. Perhaps this is his weakest work, precisely because it comes right after the success of N&D first and B&S later. But what can we say about "I’m the Man" or "Look Sharp?" Essential, trust me. A somewhat hasty review, but your passion for JJ is evident.
