I don't think so.

A couple of years after.

This one's not working.

Todd's singing almost like Andy Partridge out of XTC.

The drummer's not really got the Ringo vibe.

Yes, it's too heavy handed to be an accurate pastiche.

Track 5 - Alone. pet

Drums are too heavy. Ringo would've been calmly tapping bongos on this one.

I like this one.

A proper distillation of his Royal Maccaness.

Track 6 - That's Not Right.

This is verging more towards just generic '60s bubblegum pop rather than a genuine Beatles pastiche.

Track 7 - Take It Home.

by Nightjar Fri 25 Jun 2021 - 19:13

It could almost be Herman's Hermits or that other band with the singer who did that idiotic dance.

Day Tripper big time.

by Nightjar Fri 25 Jun 2021 - 19:14

Todd's vocals are bit hard rock though.

by Nightjar Fri 25 Jun 2021 - 19:14

Still, it's a decent song in a broader sense.

Track 8 - Hoi Poloi.
