(Mercury)
Patrick Wolf is the most sincere of pop stars and that, combined with a reputation for ostentation, is perhaps what's put people off. But this, his fifth album, should blast away those reservations. Wolf is in love - he will marry his long-term boyfriend this year - and these songs unabashedly shout that from the rooftops. Infused with a new romantic grandiosity, the first three tracks, in particular, are gloriously euphoric. Things inevitably sag a little towards the end ("Slow Motion" is aptly named) but even that can't dint the prevailing mood of jubilation.
