He still needs to be giving it more welly, vocally.

Newman's pushing an album track on us. sad yes

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Wed Apr 08, 2020 9:50 pm

Track 7 - Come Crash.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Wed Apr 08, 2020 9:50 pm

This is like a song I once wrote.

I have a good mind to sue. rant

by Nightjar Wed Apr 08, 2020 9:50 pm

I like this song, but it's a a bit of downer.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Wed Apr 08, 2020 9:51 pm

This is my favourite song, so far.

Probably because I wrote it. Colbert

Track 8 - Better Than Most.

by Nightjar Wed Apr 08, 2020 9:53 pm

It's not better than most of the tracks on this album. sad yes

by Nightjar Wed Apr 08, 2020 9:55 pm

This is probably the weakest track.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Wed Apr 08, 2020 9:55 pm

Track 9 - The Town Halo.

by Nightjar Wed Apr 08, 2020 9:56 pm

The Town Halo

Should've been the second song!

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Wed Apr 08, 2020 9:57 pm

Is Roy Wood playing cello on this one? Excited

by Nightjar Wed Apr 08, 2020 9:58 pm

Oh God, what seems to me to ne the blink of eye is like an endless Soldiernitzin nightmoo.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Wed Apr 08, 2020 9:58 pm

Last track - 35 In The Shade.

This kind of sounds like the Bay City Rollers. shifty

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Wed Apr 08, 2020 10:00 pm

That is a good thing.

by Nightjar Wed Apr 08, 2020 10:01 pm

Anyway.

This is Power-Pop.

It was invented in the '60s./70s but AC and the New P*ronographers really nailed it.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Wed Apr 08, 2020 10:02 pm

It is over.

I felt that was an album which was constantly on the verge of becoming a great album but it never quite took that leap of faith, abandonment-wise, that would have allowed it to become so.

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