Product Description
From Amazon.com
There are several schools of thought about Syd Barrett, the early leader of Pink Floyd. Some think he was a genius songwriter, even when he was utterly whacked out. Others think he was just a druggie tosspot (those people are wrong). If you subscribe to the former school, you need to hear Belle and Sebastian, who seem to inhabit a musical universe close to Syd's. Songs seem to fly off the cuff, as attractive as a summer day when you were 16. We're not talking self-conscious strangeness here, but just natural, organic weirdness with melodies that make these songs work. --Chris Nickson
Album Description
Whimsy and preciousness is an integral part of 'If You're Feeling Sinister', along with clever wit and gentle, intricate arrangements - a wonderful blend of the Smiths and Simon & Garfunkel, to be reductive. A Matador Records release.

Amazing,
By
This review is from: If You're Feeling Sinister (Audio CD)
I got turned onto B&S rather by accident and picked up this album as my second purchase after 2006's "The Life Pursuit". This is one of those albums that seems to have been placed into a moment in time. It is clear and distinct compared to almost anything else of the 1990s. Every song is unique and the lyrics are catchy and quirky. Stuart M's voice drips across flawless melodies. Definitely in my top 10 albums of all time.

Outstanding,
By Evan McDermott "Musically obsessed.." (Portland, OR USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: If You're Feeling Sinister (Audio CD)
This was the first B&S album that I bought and I love it. Tracks 1-7 are flawless and some of the best music you'll get to hear anywhere. Songs 8 and 9 aren't bad songs they just dont stick in your head like the previous do. The last track picks up where the first seven left off. All in all this album is fantastic and very fun to listen to. If you just like good music and great songwriting then pick this one up. There are a variety of intruments used and every song is worthwhile. If you're new to B&S this is THE place to start. ENJOY!

Donovan from the 60's,
By Pazz (Los Gatos, California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: If You're Feeling Sinister (Audio CD)
Anyone remeber Donovan? He had a few hits back in the 60's. Belle and Sebastian sound like today's Donovan. Pretentious! Maybe it is Donovan? Whatever happened to him? He could be doing this stuff today? He was doing this stuff 30 years ago.I would pass on this, unless you liked Donovan. Well then buy some Donovan... Pazz
