Yes, the universal Tuesday.

Nobody likes Tuesday.

Moyet cannot sing.

Her vocal range is so limited.

It's like she's swallowing her voice when she attempts to project anything like soul.

It's like desiccated cardboard.

Track 4 - Winter Kills.

So far I prefer side 2 to side 1. shifty

Not getting much above the ★/★★ border.

Oh dear, is she feeling sorry for past it oldies 30 year olds?

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sat 25 Apr 2020 - 19:32

Another one by Moyet.

by Nightjar Sat 25 Apr 2020 - 19:32

It has the subtlety and cadence of a tombstone.

Will the song be better than the film? hmm

Why does this remind me of Marillion?

scared

Interesting comment on Youtube.

I suspect this lyrics wouldn't stand up to investigation.

It keeps threatening to turn into a good song but then always retreats from the feat at the last moment.

by Nightjar Sat 25 Apr 2020 - 19:35

It's a damning indictment on the album that this is best track so far.

The film didn't. sad yes

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sat 25 Apr 2020 - 19:36

Last track - Bring Your Love Down (Didn't I).

It's another Moyet one.

by Guest Sat 25 Apr 2020 - 19:36

The way the feet on aranged on the cover irritate me, that looks slightly unnatural. It rubs against the rest of the idea of the sleeve.

by Nightjar Sat 25 Apr 2020 - 19:36

There was a film called Winter Kills BTW.

by Guest Sat 25 Apr 2020 - 19:36

It's no Divine is it?

The Music is too timid, the vocals are a bit ropey, compared to Divine I mean.

by Nightjar Sat 25 Apr 2020 - 19:36

Don't Go again.

by Nightjar Sat 25 Apr 2020 - 19:37

Just 3 minutes or so to endure.
