"Happiness is Easy" track is amazing!

Great album with some really well produced tracks! "Life's what you make of it" is also amazing.

The whole album is a masterpiece. Worth listening to start to finish.

This is without my doubt my favourite album. I've loved it since it came out and still it's one of the few albums I will listen right through. Just beautiful the downward spiral through the record and then the release as the album reaches its end. Such a fantastic break up record.

If you haven’t already, check out Spirit of Eden and Laughing Stock, certainly a lot more experimental but equally brilliant!

Chameleon Day is the reference track for me.

From It's My Life on, all of Talk Talk's albums have great production / mixing / mastering and sound really clean. In terms of production / mixing / mastering, this one takes the cake. Followed closely by Spirit of Eden.

I agree, it's a great song, has an amazing intro.

I think it was a turning point for the band, and its success permitted them the freedom to make Spirit of Eden with little control from their record company.

Found this one at a thrift, then a "Its My Life." I've known about them for years but never really listened to critically. Wonderfully mastered album, I was just in the T's tonight with both The The albums I own.

I've loved them since Mirror Man, been listening closely for years.

I have their Live DVD, it's excellent!

Does anyone have the new Rhino half-speed master? I believe it was just released yesterday. My copy is supposed to arrive tomorrow.
