I know there is one genuinely great song on this album.

I wonder if there any others? Excited

Structurally, her songs seem to be quite basic.

Same for this one.

I think, possibly, the first two tracks could have done with being about 25% shorter.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Mon May 04, 2020 7:09 pm

Track 3 - 2 Kool 2 Be 4-gotten.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Mon May 04, 2020 7:10 pm

Ooh, I know this one.

by Nightjar Mon May 04, 2020 7:11 pm

This is slightly better.

Still, melodically it's limited.

There's a distinct lack of dynamism.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Mon May 04, 2020 7:13 pm

She doesn't seem to do middle eights.

Much much too long.

No variation.

She's a proper stick in the mud this one. oh no

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Mon May 04, 2020 7:14 pm

Track 4 - Drunken Angel.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Mon May 04, 2020 7:14 pm

This is a bit livelier.

by Guest Mon May 04, 2020 7:15 pm

She sounds drunk on this one. yes

:cheers:

Interesting comment on Youtube. yes

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Mon May 04, 2020 7:15 pm

This is the best song, so far.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Mon May 04, 2020 7:16 pm

But will there be a middle eight? scared

by Nightjar Mon May 04, 2020 7:16 pm

Drunken Angel?

What next, Junkie Jesus?
