BUt in its defence the melody is boring as well.

Last track - Who Can Stop the Rain?

Bass chugging away.

Didn't Bob Dylan write a song of the same title?

by Nightjar Wed Jun 10, 2020 9:09 pm

A moody track to close with.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Wed Jun 10, 2020 9:11 pm

This one's not too interesting either.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Wed Jun 10, 2020 9:11 pm

Another Sting-type melody.

Numan style woo-hoos

There's some genuine musical talent and ambition behind this.

Strange really.

It's like they weren't around during an era-a few years where they'd've been as celebrated as many other groups.

Instead they just got lumped in with - and happily embraced - the second British Invasion media guff.

This is a bit like the Sick Parrots we did earlier, ends on two b*ring songs. sad yes

by Guest Wed Jun 10, 2020 9:13 pm

It is over.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Wed Jun 10, 2020 9:14 pm

It is over.

That was a good album that, possibly, ran out of steam towards the end but it was pleasing, overall, with some excellent playing on it.

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

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Wed Jun 10, 2020 9:15 pm

I shall give it 4 stars because its melodies were somewhat wooden but still intriguing.

by Nightjar Wed Jun 10, 2020 9:16 pm

I actually.

Genuinely.

Virtually.

Thought that was quite good.

The hits were ace.

Some of the album tracks were good too.

It petered out somewhat at the end, but then, so did Revolver.

by Nightjar Wed Jun 10, 2020 9:20 pm

And, er... Venus and Mars?

Is that the one Wendi loves?

Or is it Red Rose Speedway?

Anyway, it petered out like one of those albums.

The one that causes the most unnecessary offence. yes

by Guest Wed Jun 10, 2020 9:20 pm

That was alright.

My headache just won't shift 2nite.

Venus and Mars maintains its magnificence right up to and including the final moment.

I went ★★★★ in the end.

I'd also like to take in consideration I'm quite liking A Flock of Seagulls recently.
