Last track - I've Seen That Movie Too.

"I've Seen That Movie Too"

This one's great.

This and the next four tracks on Side 3 are the high plateau of the album.

by Guest Wed Dec 09, 2020 7:35 pm

Piano.

Backwards guitar.

Backwardsy guitar - swelling strings.

Gert lush.

Backwards guitar solo.

This is superb.

by Guest Wed Dec 09, 2020 7:40 pm

Well produced.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Wed Dec 09, 2020 7:41 pm

It is semi-over.

The singles and the final track were clearly far better than the other tracks but the other tracks were competent.

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

End of Disc 1.

It's a mixed bag IMO.

Some triffic songs and a couple of weaker ones.

Also, one bona fide duffer-a-rama.

Brilliant last track though.

Roll on Disc 2...

by Guest Wed Dec 09, 2020 7:42 pm

It is over.

Well, as much as it's done these days, I think he's one one of those 70s artists who's Disco work wasn't better than the early stuff, as much as I'd like to pretend it is.

Why Can't I vote?

OH…My…Gawd…

by Nightjar Wed Dec 09, 2020 7:42 pm

Oh, and the title track.

That's better than brilliant.

For me it's very special.
