fourteen years ago, Edwyn Collins briefly lived up to their terrific name, with an insanely addictive hit single called “What’s the Big Idea?”. Hellbent on Compromise isn’t so much a record, as a great effort at dragging you into another world. IF YOU LIKE ALL Edwyn Collins’S SONG GO FOR IT! Great Rock right here!
What’s the Big Idea? have really caught my ear and imagination. Vocal harmonies in this track are great and song structure is just right. I was truly moved when I heard You Poor Deluded Fool. This song could easily nestle itself onto the world top playlists. Take Care of Yourself - A nice song. Graciously gets you up and jumping. Someone Else Besides is a pleasing, and full of overall coherence that goes beyond other creations. My Girl Has Gone is Edwyn Collins’s best work in years. Edwyn Collins sings Now That It’s Love in such a comforting, confident voice that you can’t help but be moved. Strong, powerful vocals of Edwyn Collins in Everything and More are very impressive.
