Why isn't there more grand baroque, operatic pop? Seems like it's only used ironically or parodically.
Is there anything close to what Rufus did here that I can listen to?

Not sure if it's what you're after, but for "baroque, operatic pop", try Scott Walker's first four albums. 'Scott 3' is my favourite.

I like it!
i was obsessed with this album for about a year - and devoured his other stuff too. Looking back on it now, this album was the only really great record.

You're right. He has good stuff on the other records, but the self titled is special

Another suggestion.

This album has some nice bombastic orchestrated pop stuff, even though the lyrics can be pretty tongue in cheek

I think Poses 1 & 2 are really good... but yyyeah, could easily have been condensed into onen album

FUCK i mean Want 1 & 2... i was listening to Poses when I typed that whüps

a slimmed down Want taken from the two parts could actually be a classic. I'd love a Christmas album from him

Is that Nick Cave?
