Review

Doctor Syntax is former Orange Juice frontman Edwyn Collins's fifth solo album in 13 years. Three years in the making, it's his first LP since 1997's I'm Not Following You and comes a full seven years after his breakthrough single, "A Girl Like You." Its name inspired by an early 19th century satire, Doctor Syntax is a finely crafted collection of alt-pop gems that drip with soul and wry wit. Enjoying his status as an indie-rock elder statesman, Collins delivers cunning asides that occasionally burst into overt ridicule "The Beatles" is an acerbic "arch-riposte" to the Fab Four, while "Back to the Backroom" belittles Cool Britannia. With the jangly guitars of his earlier work all but extinct, Collins's music is now lined with sugary summer soul and driven by sleek, sophisticated rhythms. --Christopher Barrett 2003 album from the former Orange Juice frontman, featuring The Sex Pistols Paul Cook on two tracks. Includes 3 bonus tracks not available on import, 'Message For Jojo' (feat. Bernard Butler), 'After All (I live My Life)' & 'Stars In My Eyes'. Instinct.
