The Raw & The Cooked

Fine Young Cannibals · 1988

3.5

Pop-soul with grit under its fingernails: Roland Gift's strangled tenor makes "She Drives Me Crazy" and "Good Thing" sound desperate even at their catchiest. The Raw & The Cooked topped charts on both sides of the Atlantic and then the band simply stopped — a near-perfect single act.
