The Lilac Time's sixth record, with its unimaginative title but perfectly descriptive subtitle ("Beautiful Despair and Other Folktales"), runs no risk of disappointing fans. It houses no less than six songs that rate favorably with the group's best material. The remainder isn't anything to thumb your nose at, either. What it lacks in surprises and growth is more than made up for in consistency and craft. And while a quick scan of the sleeve presents you with several "hastily placed" cultural curios, the record is hardly the reflective/nostalgic/"let's take stock of our lives" buggy wreck it sort of advertises itself to be. 

挖掘心灵最深处后所触及的新思想、新感受全都倾洒在这张专辑中。它是‘美丽的绝望’。它真的很美，尽管也有人认为它有些压抑。”
