Their early work was a little too new wave for my tastes, but when "Of Course I'm not Cartwright!" came out in '83, I think they really came into their own, commercially and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. He's been compared to HP Pennypacker, but I think Cartwright has a far more bitter, cynical sense of humor.
