"Hats" tells the tale of heartbreak, growing up and finding the right girl.
This fits beautifully in between the previous album "A Walk Across The Rooftops" which is a story of teenage infatuation and the discovery of dating. And before the most recent album "Peace At Last" which is a document of adulthood, marriage and happy ever after.
Words cannot describe how beautiful and thought provoking this album is. Forget about mainstream pop rock or indie. The three albums by the Blue Nile are all you will ever need.
