OK, I tried to boot my computer up from scratch and it did the same thing it did when I tried to update.

i.e. it didn't want to boot up.

Anyway, I'm back on after an Alt-Boot and can see all the smileys and add ons now.

But, too late I guess.

Well, it's over.


That was odd.

First of all I'm not keen on AOR New Wave, I don't know what you call it, but that sort of thing. But's weird how it sounds like, you know who, but lacks that overwritten clever-cleverness. I know the voice is the same, well, similar, but it's just not as irritating.


dunno

It is over.

That was a very slick and energetic album that I felt worked from start to finish. It was a bit depressing though, as the sides being in the wrong order and a track going missing distracted me so much that, until Side 1 started, I found it hard to concentrate on it, plus I was also concerned about Nightie having technical troubles. I feel that was the worst running commentary we've ever done, because of the problems.

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

I though I bought my 'A' game to this one.






I gave the album 3 *.

I don't even know how to rate the album, I was so distracted by other matters while listening to it that I can pass no judgement on it. bawl

This isn't do much for me.

It's just a song.

With all normal song bits in it.

This kind of music is all played out.

Glorified pub-rock.

The songs just settle into a pattern and stubbornly stay there.

The playlist and order is an absolute mess.

The track Maneuvers (sic) is completely missing.
