She's giveing it some welly.

Shame it's so feeble.

He's doing a rotten job, so far.

One single solitary pleasant key change in there.

It's what happens when talented session musicians try to do something made by people who can barley play, but have something to say.

Poor old Linda.

Always the one whole fell between two posts.

Track 5 - Hurt So Bad.

by Nightjar Tue Oct 06, 2020 8:43 pm

The production is horrible.

Everything needs a heavy dose of Barry Gibb and Alby Galuten...

They needed to keep her vocals and strip away everything else and re-record it.

by Nightjar Tue Oct 06, 2020 8:45 pm

It's banal and cliched without being enjoyably camp nonetheless.

Track 6 - Look Out for My Love.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Tue Oct 06, 2020 8:45 pm

Neil Young song.

Look Out For My Love! gasp

One of Neil Young's greatest songs.

by Nightjar Tue Oct 06, 2020 8:46 pm

Reduced to plodding dullness.

by Nightjar Tue Oct 06, 2020 8:47 pm

The original of this so so so so good.

by Nightjar Tue Oct 06, 2020 8:48 pm

The way that bridge was handled was shockingly bad.

Track 7 - Cost of Love.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Tue Oct 06, 2020 8:49 pm

Clearer sound.

by Nightjar Tue Oct 06, 2020 8:50 pm

The fact that she sings all of NY's vocal parts note for note complete with a completely flat, soulless emphasis just adds insult to injury.
