It is over.

The first side was noticeably stronger than the second but, overall, it was catchy and inoffensive with occasional naff bits.

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

I shall give it 4 stars.

Really, it's 3.5 but we don't have a 3.5 star option.

I like that album.

I think it's overlooked and underrated.

It does fall away a little in the second half after such a lively start, but there aren't really any bad songs on it at all, just a couple that a little weaker and perhaps go on slightly too long.

The high points are really good though and the musicianship is outstanding aaaaaand...

I've forgot to include a poll. llama

There is no poll. Colbert
