Scotland's most adorable rock collective continues to mess around with disco rhythms and glam-rock guitar licks, but the best songs on its sixth album are the ones that come on the softest. Dress Up in You is built on the same blueprint--sad piano, whispered Stuart Murdoch vocals and a gradual revelation that the song is sung from a female perspective--as many of B&S's earlier hits, while Another Sunny Day takes a pickup soccer game ("I saw you in the corner of my eye on the sidelines/ Your dark mascara bids me to historical deeds...

The 1970s glam-rock icon best known for hits like Rock and Roll (Part 2) and Leader of the Gang served two months in prison in his native Great Britain in 1999 for possession of child pornography and was expelled from Cambodia in 2002 under suspicion of pedophilia, an accusation he denied.
