Mr love pants has got to be the best album ever. Ian dury is the quite essential urban poet and every time you listen you will spot something memorable that you will want to quote down the pub or even when trying to impress your future partner.

Actually I only bought it unheard because the dog on the cover is identical to mine! But when you play this CD the music and lyrics hit you like a sledgehammer and yiu just want to keep playing it to soak up more poetry.

Ian Dury's lyrics are just so clever, clever, clever. The first track, 'Jack s**t George is surely autobiographical and relates the thoughts of someone who was failed by the education system, with lines like 'When have you ever been top of the class- not once. What will you be when you're out on your a***- a dunce.'

My favourite lyric of the whole album is from track 7, 'Cacka Boom' According to the great philosopher Dury, 'No one said you must be good as gold. it's what you haven't done that matters when you're old' That line shoul be in everyones birthday card.

But it's not just the lyrics. The Blockheads are and always have been a quality set-up. Check out Davey Payne's solo at the end of 'Itinerant Child' It's enough to make you go out and spend a fortune on a saxaphone! I was that man.

If you can only afford one Ian Dury album, get this one. If not get the lot, but this is the best.

You bought it because of the cover? Then after listening to it went out and bought a saxophone? Hmmmmm strange person! In a good way, I am sure. :) Good review, but, again, more info needed for higher ratings. Scarlett x

Bit of useless information for you - Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick was number one on the day I was born!
