This sounds very like I'm Awake and Smarter from Life is Sweet.

Track 13 - Weatherspace.

I think we should've'd've d*ne the album in two separate sessions.

This is actually really good. Probably. it's all merged into one for me now. It's is like eating chocolate cake with extra thick chocolate icing with chocolate flavoured cream when you're hungry.

It's just too much.

And there's about 8 minutes to go.

Maybe if they'd stuck the more Musical Theatre ones onto a separate album or something?

This is very like very busy, overwrought JN.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sat Mar 21, 2020 8:59 pm

This is a bit magnificent.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sat Mar 21, 2020 8:59 pm

Final track - However Worn.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sat Mar 21, 2020 8:59 pm

She's dumped the piano and gone back to the acoustic guitar.

by Guest Sat Mar 21, 2020 8:59 pm

last one: However worn out.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sat Mar 21, 2020 9:00 pm

I feel that's a wise move.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sat Mar 21, 2020 9:00 pm

This sounds more like something from Peddlin' Dreams.

by Guest Sat Mar 21, 2020 9:01 pm

It might work better as a double LP, get 15 minutes then a break.

Turn it over and back in again.

You really can't fault any of this.

It's accomplished, intelligent, ambitious, seasoned and worthy of respect, but it's also perhaps a bit of an onslaught on a tipsy Saturday evening.

I think I feel much more drunk and emotionally overburdened than I actually am.

This is very stripped down.

It sounds like it might not have been recorded in a studio but in a normal room.

This has got a thread on the Steve Hoffman forum
