Kenny Rogers chord memories.

This is all too laborious.

Track 9 - You Are My Love.

by Nightjar Tue Apr 07, 2020 9:38 pm

There's a sense of de j'au fait with these songs, but the song-writing craft is undeniable.

Saxophone epicness.

This album is as naff as it is brilliant.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Tue Apr 07, 2020 9:41 pm

I'm assuming this one was planned to be a single.

The singles on this don't sound like the rest of the album, in terms of production.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Tue Apr 07, 2020 9:42 pm

Last track - Our Day Will Come.

by Nightjar Tue Apr 07, 2020 9:42 pm

This one even has a go at being total cr*p, but there are so many exciting chord/key changes and tempo modulations it belies its obvious banality.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Tue Apr 07, 2020 9:42 pm

Is this a cover? It sounds familiar.

by Nightjar Tue Apr 07, 2020 9:43 pm

This is an actual cover version.

by Nightjar Tue Apr 07, 2020 9:43 pm

Lovely.

Yes it is. That explains why it's more subtle, and lighter on its feet than the other tracks.

by Nightjar Tue Apr 07, 2020 9:44 pm

This is gorgeous.

Pop perfection.

God bless us.

We are gentle people.

I love you all.

I bet StevieBorkleZ is listening to "My C*ck's On Fire" by Whitehouse as we speak.

by Nightjar Tue Apr 07, 2020 9:48 pm

Or "Buyer's Market" by Peter Sotos. oh no

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Tue Apr 07, 2020 9:50 pm

It is over.

I feel I'd need to give it a second listen before formulating a clear opinion on it, as I was somewhat overwhelmed by the sheer Bee Geesness of it. It seemed competent enough but also felt like it was designed to be listened to while sipping cocktails with cherries in them. I did feel it was an album that lacked a sense of space, with every track feeling very full.

The singles were definitely the highlights of the album.

Now to look back at the thread and see what everyone else made of it. Excited
