got so irate at Rob's review that I referred to him as Roy!

...you pleb.

I bought this album at the weekend and it's one of the releases of the year for me. Roy has got it all so wrong.

Anthony murmurs rather than sings???!!!! What a lot of shit - he's up there with David Sylvian and Bryan Ferry as one of the best vocalists in recent times. And to compare him to Morrissey and Neil Hannon - wrong on both counts again. I've nothing against either of these artists but he's nothing like them.

British Ballads isn't comparable to anything else around at the moment.
And how Roy can fail to mention the sublime track 'The Disappointed' in his review beggars belief.

Sounds to me like Roy was put off by the rather over the top press release before he even listened to the album.

I'd give the album 5/5 and Roy Webb 0/5.

Rakish.
