Moldavia was from Dynasty or Dallas or something.

It is over.

That wasn't very good. They could clearly play their instruments and there were some nice string arrangements but the songs were uninspired, the production muddy and John Waite doesn't have a real Rock voice.

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

I shall give it 2 stars.

I missed half of it, but it sounded like a very well produced product. The height of 70s cynical MusicSICK business.

I quite admired it's efficiency, but not the actual songs.

Anyway, it was heavy going, especially as it trundled on in Juggernaut stylee.

With a bit of paring back and neck-winding-in-of there might'f been something for the more genteel and sensitive listener to get their gums into.

I can't help feeling I made the wrong choice.

Could have been worse…

I'm now listening to that Sniff 'n' the Tears album. So far, it sounds like I made the right choice. Right now, I'm on a track that sounds like David Gray sings Dennis Waterman. shifty

Now I'm on a Country song which is quite nice but his voice is annoying.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Thu Jun 18, 2020 7:56 pm

Having said that, the playing on the album is genuinely great. It's both technically adept and filled with vitality.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Thu Jun 18, 2020 7:56 pm

I'm starting to think maybe we should do it, after all.
