In the Richard Wright sense.

| These breaks between the songs merging together don't help. |

I like them. They give me time to thing of other, better songs.

| It is over. That was rubbish. It felt like a band with no identity and no character just doing stuff because that's what everybody did back then. Now to look back at the thread and see what everybody else made of it.  _________________ |

| Melodically, key-change-wise, compositionally, conceptually the songs never came close at any point to reaching beyond the profoundly banal. They were always a band that encapsulated mediocrity. Even when they tried to do psychedelic (at least 2 years too late). Weak. Feeble. Pathetic even. Susanna Hoffs could probably beat the whole band up on her own.
