The record sounds swoon-inducingly gorgeous. Leslied keyboards, vibes, and real strings and horns color Bob Stanley and Pete Wiggs' arrangements. Sarah Cracknell's underrated voice, always the band's strongest feature, has matured into a fine instrument pitched somewhere between Dusty Springfield's soulful English Rose and Petula Clark's young sophisticate.\u003cbr\u003eThe achingly lovely \"Erica America\" is the immediate highlight, though the near-conversational \"Mr. Donut\" comes very close. The groovier \"Sylvie\" and \"The Bad Postman\" recall earlier club hits but with a lighter touch. All 11 songs, from \"Woodcabin\" to \"Dutch TV,\" are frothy, melodic, and magnificent pop. GOOD HUMOR is one of the best albums of 1998. Original US copies included a bonus disc of singles and remixes.","brand":"MovieMars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45660012675359,"sku":"5414939956805","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/7833\/0399\/files\/caa00fed28d14676be3681db1c32d584.jpg?v=1777615952","url":"https:\/\/www.moviemars.com\/products\/good-humor-extended-edition-2-cd","provider":"MovieMars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
