| 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.  _________________ |

| Now I feel guilty because I gave it more than I did Sniff 'n' the Tears.  _________________ |

| 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. _________________ |

| 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.  |
