Still, something interesting hovering about waiting to make an entrance...

That mummy is walking too fast. Colbert

This one's letting the side down slightly.

Not exactly bad, just less distinguished and pedestrian considering its length.

I sense a false ending. Sly

False ending.

Fading back in.

Has any band ever done a good false ending?

I mean, including The Beakles. Colbert

It is over.

That was all a bit of a letdown. Her strength is the intensity of her voice but that was mostly dissipated by the uninspired, generic band.

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

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Mon May 31, 2021 7:51 pm

I shall give it 2 stars.

by Nightjar Mon May 31, 2021 7:51 pm

I mean, Strawberry Fields 4-EVA is one of the best songs of all time, but the false ending on that is an abomination. sad yes

by Nightjar Mon May 31, 2021 7:52 pm

Anyway, I thought it was OK.

A few tracks were genuinely good and nothing else plumbed a depth below mediocre.
