## Description

Deluxe two CD edition includes a bonus 12 track CD. Released in 1999, Simple Pleasure was Tindersticks' fourth studio album. Showing a different side of themselves, Simple Pleasure was much deeper, more fragile. This album is quite different from the previous ones released, but once the first notes from 'Can't we start again?' hit your ears you will l find yourself mesmerized. But be warned: Simple Pleasures is not as 'simple' as the title suggests. Listening to the lyrics you'll find that in essence Tindersticks (especially Stuart Staples) will never stray far from dark cynicism. This album is not only to be listened to, it's to be felt in your chest and leave you breathless.

    Simply Pleasureful
  

*by K***G on Reviewed in the United States on May 21, 2004*

On some level, I tend to agree with some of the reviewers who feel that on Simple Pleasures, Tindersticks is losing what makes the band special as it drifts off into easy-listening top 40 land. But wait! If you listen closely, you'll find the old Staples magic is still there.It did take me a while to get into this CD because I focused initially too negatively on the superficially disco aspects of a couple of the songs. But then one day I put it on and let it play a couple of times through. That's when Simple Pleasure opened up and presented me with unexpected pleasures.This CD is easily the most accessible of Tindersticks recordings I've heard to date. While it lacks the edge and the inscrutibility of the first two albums, the writing and arrangements invite a wider public to sample the talents of Stuart Staples and company. If I were to introduce Tindersticks to someone with fairly generic musical tastes, I would start them on Simple Pleasure.Here, Staples' vocal talents are on full display. His delivery is soulful and sexy, and the band is tight. I like the entire CD, but the tour de force is the Hammond organ-driven ballad If She's Torn. I've played that through over and over.While those fans who are expecting a reprise of Tindersticks first couple albums may be disappointed at first listen, those who are willing to give Simple Pleasure a chance will find that though the recording is not complex, it is simply pleasureful. The only negatives are the skimpy liner notes and the relative brevity of the CD. Buy this today and introduce your friends to the band. They should not be disappointed.

    So what?
  

*by M***E on Reviewed in the United States on May 22, 2000*

Yes, probably way too light-hued for me, I wanted it to sound broader and as mesmerizingly maudlin as usual, I'm probably still wondering what the hell are those girlie back vocals doing there, or how come strings and  horns and voice overlaps and even sarcasm and plain sense of humour were  kind of swept up all of the sudden. I actually sleep with Tinderstick's 2nd  album and "Curtains" under my pillow, and dammit, was I eager to  listen to the sequel or what, but come on, like they weren't entitled to  change their pace, work on forgetable, candid lyrics, take a chance on some  peeled off kind of production. They've already earned the right to try  whatever they feel like doing. And even playing "Jingle Bells"  just by whistling the tune all drunk out of their minds, they are good as  hell.  It will be no dissapointment, disregard each and every one of those  complaining reviews, ask yourselves if you don't feel like doing something  a little different just for the heck of it sometimes, go buy it, finally  you'll enjoy it.

    soulful sorrow
  

*by D***E on Reviewed in the United States on March 19, 2001*

The latest tindersticks album might disappoint some as it digresses from their usual sound to a more straightforward pop sound.  Gone are the dark atmospherics of the previous albums that gave them an almost gothic sound.  The instrumentation is also less brooding and haunting.  Instead, there is heavier bass guitar sound and it grooves along with a deep organ.  What better accompaniments to Staples, low richly deep voice.  The songs are poppier and the influence is pure soul.  They definitely know how to ride a groove here and some songs are actually upbeat albeit with a little melancholy and a hint of desparation as always.  Some might object but I, however, love it as much as their old stuff.  It's good to know the Tindersticks can do a great pop record.
