I went for Bomb I just can’t see much to recommend R&H apart from Heartland. Bomb has 3 good tunes, Vertigo, a man and a man and Sometimes. The rest of it is abysmal as is the cover

AIWIY - great until the horrible string section
VDL - cod Johnny cash
HM - awful
Desire - it’s ok but ultimately vacuous
AOH - it’s ok but ultimately vacuous

On the other hand...

Vertigo - it’s vacuous but at least it rocks
A man and a man - there are some lovely simple truths in there
Sometimes - it’s about his dad and actually a rare moment of sincerity from the short guy

Also there is no such thing as ‘love’ just chemical reactions and attachment issues

You, obviously, have never been loved. Or else you would love Hawkmoon.  ;)
