  • Tracklist
  • Prefab Sprout's 1990 album Jordan: The Comeback is a masterclass in ambitious pop songwriting. Frontman Paddy McAloon weaves together themes of religion, celebrity, and love across 19 tracks, creating a rich tapestry of sound and narrative. The album's intricate arrangements and lyrical depth showcase McAloon's ability to craft songs that are both intellectually stimulating and emotionally resonant.

    The production, helmed by Thomas Dolby, complements McAloon's vision with a polished yet adventurous soundscape. Tracks like "Wild Horses" and "We Let the Stars Go" exemplify the album's blend of sophistication and accessibility, making Jordan: The Comeback a standout in Prefab Sprout's discography and a testament to their artistic evolution.

    Reviews

    "Jordan: The Comeback is like an original cast recording minus the actors, or a rock opera without the silliness and bombast -- a truly inspired work." – Allmusic

    "The English band’s 1990 masterpiece, Jordan: The Comeback, however, makes you believe it’s all true. Somewhere in its 19-song sprawl—which spans bossa nova party-starters, tear-jerking R&B ballads, and arena rock anthems—there’s a narrative throughline about reincarnation, Elvis Presley, Michael Jackson, and the imminent turn of the century, all delivered with enough gravitas for several Bible characters to make credible appearances." – Pitchfork
