This track's good fun.

Has the sort of ending you could imagine being on a Cliff single.

Track 3 - Life in the Fast Lane.

Guitars.

More So-Cal satire.

Sounds like the sort of thing the drummer did as a solo artist.

by Fangirl Three Mon Jan 18, 2021 6:13 pm

Solo that's early Queen/Wishbone Ash/early Led Zep.

Is this Joe Walsh or thingy?

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Mon Jan 18, 2021 6:14 pm

Sounds quite a bit like Dire Straits' Industrial Disease in places.

Both.

Clavinet.

4. Wasted Time.

There's a very strong coherence between the musicians.

Great, chunky but clear as golden syrup production.

by Nightjar Mon Jan 18, 2021 6:17 pm

This one starts well, but is ultimately one of the weaker tracks on the albums.

I think the reprise after is better.

Track 4 - Wasted Time.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Mon Jan 18, 2021 6:17 pm

First non-famous song.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Mon Jan 18, 2021 6:18 pm

This is a bit boring.

by Nightjar Mon Jan 18, 2021 6:18 pm

Cheesily pleasing epic key shift.
