It can't be overstated how much better this album has got since the beginning.

It's like they did all their live silliness tracks on Side 1 and then had to pad the rest of the album with proper songs.

Rubber Gun, sounds a bit like 10CC.

It is over.
That was an album that began dismally and ultimately managed to raise itself up to the level of mediocrity.
Now to look back at the thread and see what everybody else made of it.

At it's worse it was… Parody of a type of music I don't care for, and although I can like Mowanna Banks' White Horses stretch it to over 3 minutes, and I'm just losing interest.
A couple of goodish tracks on side 2 won't mean it gets anything above ★★, also I was getting a right 10CC vibe off it as well. That's not a good thing.

Well, that was a very strange album indeed.
It started off in faintly tiresome parody style and then slowly began to show some promise, before hitting its stride suddenly about half way through.
By the end it seemed barely believable that the two halves were by the same band.
I think the band evolved in their own cultural environment and largely as a live act.
