Editorial Reviews
From the Label
BAD VIBES extends Lloyd Cole's remarkable talent for marrying cinematic imagery to melodic grace. As always he's assembled a talented and versatile backing cast, with names like Matthew Sweet and Anton Fier. This 1994 release, his first after a three year hiatus, was greeted by fans as a return to peak form; even the cynical UK press dubbed it one of Cole's finest efforts. This U.S. release features two bonus tracks not found on the album's 11-song British version: "For The Pleasure Of Your Company" and "4 M.B."

BAD VIBES' ironic title is typical of Cole's approach, which combines evocative lyrical imagery with subtly crafted tunes. The Rolling Stone Album Guide praised his songs' "unblinking honesty" and "rich sense of melancholy," and stated that "Cole's compositions can take a few telling details and a certain cast of melody and somehow paint a vivid picture of a woman or a relationship. At their best, his songs recall the subtle depth and disarming simplicity of Leonard Cohen's work." On BAD VIBES Cole's edgy songcraft is as potent as ever on tunes like the psychedelic-flavored "Morning Is Broken" (the album's first single), the wry "So You'd Like to Save The World," the slow-burning "My Way To You," the bittersweet and humorous "Love You So What" and the darkly provocative "Wild Mushrooms."
