Cheepskates – Run Better Run: #66 of best 1,000 albums ever!

You’re not around but you’re plain to see – I hear you’re voice and you’re telling me.

You say times are tough – we got the best of both worlds here.

Did you never call? I waited for your call. These rivers of suggestion are driving me away.

I’m not the man you think I am.

Don’t ask me, because I don’t know why, but it’s like that, and that’s the way it is.

You might think I’m crazy – all I want is you.

The middle of the road is trying to find me. I’m standing in the middle of life with my plans behind me.

Ah, can’t you see me standing here? I got my back against the record machine. I ain’t the worst that you’ve seen, ah can’t you see what I mean?

I don’t want to hear it – all you do is talk about you. I don’t want to hear it, ‘cause I know that none of it’s true.

Dearly beloved: let’s go crazy. Let’s get nuts.

A sprawl of 43 eclectic gems add up to a greater whole, and that price is right on.

From jangle pop to post-punk to quiet ballads, this one has great range (and each range is great).

Well-crafted hair metal. You might say it’ll rock you like… a powerful force of nature.

Variety and range, from hardcore punk to an acoustic jam that you could almost imagine being on a 1980s-era Midnight Oil record.
