Track 8 - Girl in the Thunderbolt Suit.

Think I'll have to listen to it in the Hip-Hop EQ setting though.

Now, is this song as good as its title? scared

I'd be surprised.

These songs are almost all missing that/those delightful trademark Bolan key change(s) that makes you warm to them so often.

Track 9 - I Really Love You Babe.

by Guest Wed Sep 16, 2020 7:25 pm

I like the backing vocals.

by Guest Wed Sep 16, 2020 7:26 pm

Don't think the songs going anywhere.

Nice riff though.

This illustrates my point exactly.

It's just Marc trying too hard at 'rocking out' and Glor' propping the whole creaky structure up by squawking as shrilly as she can.

The band, despite their best efforts, just get left behind.

Worst of all, there are absolutely no mind-bendingly mad lyrics.

Track 10 - Golden Belt.

by Guest Wed Sep 16, 2020 7:28 pm

It's a nice guitar riff/stab of repeated notes, but he's not got a song around it.

by Nightjar Wed Sep 16, 2020 7:28 pm

That last track was an absolute disaster.

by Guest Wed Sep 16, 2020 7:29 pm

Funkay.

I think it's the worst song I've heard him do. yes

I like the groove on this one.

Not sure you can dance to it…

dance

Yes. but's not easy.

by Nightjar Wed Sep 16, 2020 7:31 pm

You can kind of hear that there's nobody around in the studio.

Not in spirit at least.

The bare bones.

Lots of noise masking tumbleweeds rolling by...

Everyone's boogered off - the circus has moved on. sad yes
