| The chorus is a bit prosaic though. _________________ Have you ever seen a Squonk's tears?

| It is over. That was great. Filled with energy, attitude and character, though it did tail off noticeably with the last two tracks. Now to look back at the thread and see what everybody else made of it. _________________ |

| That was 80% awful.
Not my cup of joe at all.
1986 was a pretty wretched time for music generally as well.
Especially in regards to production and certain trends that transformed, for example, the rhythm section to that of a dumbly thudding utility.
The latter was showcased in all its ugly glory on this album for the most part.
Still, against all expectations, it suddenly got OK (not exactly good or gr8) at the very end.
No surprise that the songs were written by other people. _________________ Have you ever seen a Squonk's tears?
