Apparently not.

The German girl in Cl*max is called Thea Carla Schøtt.

It is over.

That is a far better album than one by a band of that vintage should be. However, I did feel it went on too long and started to become too much of a feat of endurance for me.

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

I shall give it 3 stars.

Well, that was alright, laters!

B*gger me bandy with a sideways banjo.

There was a lot of record in there.

Too much? dunno

Nah, don't be daft.

In all honesty I'd say that that's one of the most successful - :nay: triumphant - comeback albums of any old-f*rt unit from the post-punk/new wave era ever achieved.

Yes, maybe a bit long and swamped with slightly overbearing production, but any dull or weak moments were really few and far between and often a lull within a song would be redeemed by something - a key change or tonal baroquery - that was very pleasingly dark and gothy.

I really feel like the band, on resuming their discography and milieu, made a serious and conscious effort not to be sh*t.

I'm not sure I can give it anything less that cinq étoiles et les meilleures bananes. banana

That's why I bowed out early. To listen to Don't Believe 3 times. yes

Full ★★★★★ from me. yes

by Nightjar Fri Jul 31, 2020 8:09 pm

Eh, did you vote ★★★★★ then?

So that means the Countess only voted ★★★? Colbert

by Fangirl Three Fri Jul 31, 2020 8:45 pm

I did - but I was rating it on the same basis as all their other albums. I didn't award any extra stars for 'not being sh*t after a 28-year gap'.

TBH nothing since Forever Now has rated more than 3 stars.

TSF ★★★★★
TTT ★★★★★
FN ★★★★★

MM ★★★★

MTM ★★

BoD ★★★
WO ★★★
MoR ★★★

Drums. Phat sound. Been listening to much early 70s middle of the road stuff recently.

I've also got some brandy.

I've heard this one, :SingingAlong:

by Guest Wed Sep 30, 2020 9:40 pm

It sounds a bit like a good modern Simple Minds, like Moscow Underground, or, err.. that's it really.

by Guest Wed Sep 30, 2020 9:42 pm

Tiny Hands. Let me warm them in the microwave.

Piano. Fancy effect on the guitar.
