Despite everything, I'm enjoying this one.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sun Jul 19, 2020 9:09 pm

It's more coherent than the rest of the album.

I got rid of 3 Boomtown Rats albums, 3 Blondie, 3 Dire Straights albums, 2 Micheal Jackson albums, and a Simon & Garfunkle best of, because I had all of the S&G albums.

Oh, and Kate Bush's the Hounds of Love.

I kinda regret it now, I've given up trying to keep my record collection down to size, but I can't see I'm missing this album at the mo. Still, I can't hate it.

★★, sorry, ** from me.

OOh, it's the laughing that was on the run out track.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sun Jul 19, 2020 9:11 pm

It is over.

I felt that was an album that had many good bits and was very well played but it had far too much going on, making it impossible for any of it to hang around long enough to properly sink in or engage.

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

I shall give it 3.

by Nightjar Mon Jul 20, 2020 4:32 pm

She's a bit frumpy this Diamond bint.

It's all a bit like the track off of Tommy about the teen groupie who ends up getting disfigured.
