Product Description
From Amazon.com
Tigermilk is simply gorgeous, an unaffected debut equal to the Smiths' finest work, and seemed to arrive fully formed out of nowhere in May 1996. In songs like the pastoral, shimmering "The State I Am In" and the wonderfully naive "We Rule the School," bandleader Stuart Murdoch had already laid the seeds that would later come to such full, poignant fruition on If You're Feeling Sinister and The Boy with the Arab Strap. The 10 songs here have such a natural pop sensibility, such a grace and resonance, it's hard now to believe that Tigermilk was only originally intended as a small-time project between seven Glaswegian friends (the original vinyl release was limited to 1,000 copies). Whimsical, surreal, and beautiful, this reissue is well worth the wait. --Everett True

a belle and sebastian fan from winnipeg,

This review is from: Tigermilk (Audio CD)
even though i am late forties-something, i try to keep up with the music scene. i would see belle and sebastian pop up here and there in the press, to generally favorable reviews. one day i was in a music store and asked a clerk about them. his eyes lit up instantly and he started to go on and on about them, all in a dither as to which album i should start with. he finally settled on mother's milk so i bought it and took it home for a listen. i have to admit that my first impression was "what the h*ll have i bought now?" but there was something there and i put it on again and the opening track suddenly grabbed me and i have been hopelessly hooked since. i am a single dad of two young boys and often after they are in bed i will dim the lights and pour a glass of wine and put this album on and feel quite clever and even a little bit cool for an old guy.

I adore Belle & Sebastian, but I must say that half of my favorite B&S songs are on this album and the other half are spread throughout the rest of their work. Not that I don't love every other album (with the possible exception of Storytelling), just that every single song on here is infectious, moving, funny, and stays with you a long time after you've stopped playing it. On all the other albums, I find songs that are a little too slight or meandering. But this one is 100%.'The State I Am In' is one of the few songs I've heard that makes me laugh out loud, and contains some of the wittiest biblical allusions I've ever heard. 'Expectations' should be required listening for every high or middle school kid who thinks no one understands them. "Write a song, I'll sing along" I wish I'd heard it back then: even though I'm a boy, I can relate to every incident in the song. I could really go on and on, but every song is fabulous. If you're just getting into B&S I highly recommend this album as a starting point.

Great album. The rhythm to "Electronic Renaissance" is quite similar to that on Pat Benetar's "Love is a battlefield," which I find quite amusing. Great song. Also a great song is "The State I am in." I love the tambourine in that song when they reference Veronica in the song "Expectations." .Another great track is "I could be dreaming." I love the way the music is layered at the end of the song and Isobel speaks/reads while the guitar progressively gets louder and louder.
