Are we going to do a Running Commentary on one of their albums?

They apparently don't exist.

Sladest has to be one of the best names for an album eva.

Razor-edged guitar.

Uncompromising percussion.

It is over.

That was a varied mix of tracks that struggled to cohere into a seamless playlist. However, only one of the tracks failed to appeal to me.

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

I shall give it 4 stars.

Patti D'Arbanville [said]

I just have to be by myself for a while to do what I want to do. It's good to be alone sometimes.

Look, Steven [Stevens' given name] wrote that song when I left for New York.

I left for a month, it wasn't the end of the world was it?

But he wrote this whole song about 'Lady D'Arbanville, why do you sleep so still.' It's about me dead. So while I was in New York, for him it was like I was lying in a coffin... he wrote that because he missed me, because he was down... It's a sad song.

D'Arbanville continues

I cried when I heard it, because that's when I knew it was over for good.

What a monumental love banana. [/quote]

So, Stevens frames it as it a kind of personal tragedy, but actually he dumped via in a pathetically mawkish song released without her knowledge and when she was in another country because his tiny ego was shattered.

Like I said, a total ****.

Also, Cat Steven's dog pissed in my cot.

I'll give it the score I gave it cos, despite the undeniable highs, the lows were personally and relatively grievous.
