Almost Pink Floyd-esque bit.

It is over.

I think that was the living definition of a middling album, from a band who'd decided that the best way to revive their fortunes in the 1980s was to become a cross between, the Jam, Focus, Toto, Queen, ELO and the Wombles.

In fairness, the time did fly by, listening to it, but I do feel they needed to settle on a genre and stick with it, instead of leaping randomly from style to syle.

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

However, it entertained me more than Sniff 'n' the Tears did, even though all sense says it was worse.

I think I may have picked the wrong album. It seems to be their 1979 album, Elevator, that was the critically acclaimed one. bawl

I'm giving it three stars simply because it was a morbidly interesting flailing failure (flailure) of musical styles and influences.

They went down with something resembling a fight though.

The video with the actresses was the most intellectually stimulating and subtly erotic thing I've seen in a long while.

Not since I saw the trailer for The Unbearable Lightness of Being have I felt such a profound stirring in my hippopotamus hypothalamus - a surge of roiling subconscious espuma... etc...

I have now listened to 30 seconds of each track on it. It's much more coherent album but, for me, lacks the wayward randomness that made this one gripping.

In fact, I THINK I WILL!!!

Also the name of the group was The Rollers, they changed it when they changed the singer. Colbert
