Reviews"JESUS OF COOL filters the hopped-up energy of 1977 London through Lowe’s quirky genius, and its neon immediacy is undimmed after more than 30 years.", "JESUS if full of mini masterpieces....This underappreciated achievement deserves to be treated like the classic it is." -- Grade: A, 3 stars out of 5 -- "JESUS OF COOL was Lowe at his unashamedly poppiest....The perfect example of how to exhume the undeservedly forgotten.", 4 stars out of 5 -- "Ever constant...was Lowe's innate sense of pop's rich heritage, from 50s teen balladry to Motownesque bubblegum and garage band shamble.", 5 stars out of 5 -- "Musically, he traversed territories -- clanging rock, lush ballads, spooky reggae, neurotic pop and black comedy.", "Stuffed to the Gills with Catchy Garage Rock, Jangly Pop and Snarky Disco...", 4 stars out of 5 -- "Lowe still makes great records of pop gleam and wise irony, but this is his Book of Genesis.", 4 stars out of 5 -- "Lowe's 1978 debut remains his finest moment, a mix of acid music-biz snark with songcraft...", "Lowe is a great storyteller, with a knack for joyuous pop hooks and a country & western sense of inescapable fate.", "Lowe Served Up Originals That Showed Facility in Various Classic Genres...", 4 stars out of 5 -- "Held together by Lowe's mischievous wit....A tour de force from a golden era of clever and imaginative pop.", 4 stars out of 5 -- "Exhilarating, cutting-edge, retro, playful, cynical and picaresque, JESUS OF COOL filters the hopped-up energy of 1977 London through Lowe's quirky genius..."
