Where this album fits
- Career context
- Released in January 2005, 'Ready for the Real Life' marked Fools Garden's fifth studio album and their first after a four-year hiatus since 'For Sale'. At this point, the band was looking to redefine their sound while maintaining the catchy pop sensibilities that brought them fame with hits like 'Lemon Tree'. This album signaled a period of reinvigoration as they explored new themes and musical directions.
