This is fine. Of course it was written by Moulding(Colin)

Hey, I can skip ahead, yeah, that's a good song I never need to listen to again.

2: Helicopter

The one written by anti-semtic Alan Andy Partridge.

It's Horrible!

This is the sort of song you could only half get away with in 1979. Unless you're American for some reason.

Bit slow, less irritating.

Until the vocals come in.

It's got that nothing really wrong with it, but it's totally unengaging appeal of The Police.

Except it's got plenty wrong with it.

It dosn't even work as a well (boringly) crafted pop song, with the verse and chorus in mathematical procession circle of fifths or whatever.

Actually it sounds more like Crowded House.

That's not a good thing.

The distinctive drum pattern was an attempt to invert drum tones and accents in the style of Devo's 1977 rendition of the Rolling Stones' "Satisfaction".[22] Partridge remembered his discontent with the time devoted to the song's recording, remarking that "[w]e spent a week doing Nigel and three weeks doing the rest of the album."[1]

You mean spending all the time on the good song that'll get into the chart? hmm


Oh, Devo, that explains a lot.

Reel By Reel

Ska for people who think dancing is "too savage."

And sex while standing is banned in case it leads to dancing. Not a problem for XTC I'd imagine.

Police are back.

When was the first Police album anyway?

'78.

I've heard the first XTC album, sounds like a bunch of art-school chances on the punk bandwagon. In a bad way.
