For some reason this song always makes me think of "Drive Back" by Neil Young.

It's absurdly long this.

But I still love it.

Alomar's riff, Iggy's free-form vocals, the insistent drums...

Carlos Alomar, as ever, providing those tastefully, soulfully rococo guitar licks...

It is over.

It was OK but it was quite boring and too many songs went on for too long.

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

I shall give it 3 stars.

by Guest Sat Oct 10, 2020 7:42 pm

It is over.

Slightly mean ★★★★ from me.

Pony?

I do find that album to be a very jolly old affair.

Iggy's mad grin on the cover conveys perfectly the faintly demented, unhinged and downright fun of the whole affair.

For me it genuinely emits a sense of strange wholesomeness.

It really feels like everyone was having a thoroughly good time recording it.

Raucous, silly, rocking and full of charm and thoroughly beezer tunes.

Any faults the album may have are eclipsed many times over by the above factors.
