The first song, it was too hot. Now it's too cold. Bob is never satisfied. Colbert

I like the drumming on this album.

Huge drum sounds.

In retrospect this sounds a bit like like a rubbish Talking Heads, with the Bombast turned up to 11.

Acutally it's more Lena Lovich innit?

Silly vocal chorus is undermining the song, somewhat.

IS this the album with 'some people were born some people died and some people went INNSAIN-Neneneene' on it?

Too fiddly. Too clever for the likes of me.

Very short section that sounded like Roger Hodgson wrote it. gasp
