Goodbye Jumbo
by World Party
The 3682nd greatest album of all time
Goodbye Jumbo, World Party's 1990 album led by Karl Wallinger, blends classic rock, British pop, folk and psychedelia into melodic songs with dense, multi-layered arrangements. Wallinger wrote the material and played most of the instruments, producing a warm sound that references 1960s and 1970s influences while incorporating contemporary alternative rock sensibilities. The record includes tracks such as "Way Down Now" and "She's the One" and is often cited as a defining statement of World Party's early period.
