A Must Have October 4, 1999
Thomas Unangst (Liverpool, NY USA)

The Beautiful South may very well be the best-kept secret in the States. Although very popular in Europe, The South never caught on in the States. It's a shame because this group is loaded with talent. "Miaow" is probably the most accessible CD they have produced to date. In typical South fashion cynical lyrics are mixed with upbeat tempos. The lyrics are at times disturbing and always thought provoking. I would describe the South's overall character as almost theatrical, with gorgeous harmonies by the talented Jacqueline Abbott and in your face lyrics by lead singer/writer Paul Heaton. The songs on "Miaow" range from the sensitive "Prettiest Eyes" to the disturbing "Mini-Correct", with a theme along the lines of "A Clockwork Orange". This CD is a MUST HAVE for your progressive music collection, it is in fact addicting and worthy of a goosebumps generating five stars.

When I bought this CD I Completed the total collection of TBS. This CD was the last one that I have bought of this Fantastic Band. I consider "Miaow" a very special album... above "Blue is the colour". The songs "Everybody's Talkin'", "Especially For You", "Prettiest Eyes" and "Worthless Lie" are the best of this CD. If you love TBS you must buy this album. This is an import Album and is not so easy to find it. "Miaow" = 5 Stars. No doubt.
Best Import You Never Heard Of August 30, 2000

The best album TBS ever recorded (and unfortunately only comes as import). Pop-rock at it's best with great man-woman dialogues between Heaton and Abbot. 3 songs in the middle (from "Pretties Eyes" to "Hooligans") are worth buying this album for, but add straight-between-your-eyes "Mini-correct" along with soft "Especially for you" and you get a collection which anybody who likes good music shouldnt miss...
A Classic September 18, 1999

One does not come across too many classics nowadays, this is one. The lyrics are well thought out and poignant; the music does justice to the writing. A must have.
the best disc by the south February 15, 1999

From the greatest love song I've ever heard to great ballads of missed relationships or even war this is truly a remarkable disc. Every song is a classic in my house. The prettiest eyes has to be the greatest love song of all time with the lyrics that only the south could put together. I normally get sick of a disc after a month or so. I've had this one for a couple of years and could still listen to it every day.
