In regards reference material, it's quite Macca-heavy this album.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Fri Jun 25, 2021 7:17 pm

The whole album has a busy-ness about it that's very unBeatley.

by Nightjar Fri Jun 25, 2021 7:18 pm

It's definitely work of pastiche this album, rather than The Rutles which was parody.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Fri Jun 25, 2021 7:18 pm

Track 9 - Life Goes On.

Well, in real life they were a pretty full on prog-rock band.

Synthesized strings. Sly

by Nightjar Fri Jun 25, 2021 7:21 pm

The string synth is a bit much.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Fri Jun 25, 2021 7:21 pm

Track 10 - Feel Too Good.

by Nightjar Fri Jun 25, 2021 7:21 pm

This just sounds like Todd Rundgren.

by Nightjar Fri Jun 25, 2021 7:22 pm

Getting vaguely Weird Al Yankovic.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Fri Jun 25, 2021 7:24 pm

Track 11 - Always Late.

by Nightjar Fri Jun 25, 2021 7:24 pm

The album's starting to become irritating.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Fri Jun 25, 2021 7:25 pm

This one's just clodhopping.

by Nightjar Fri Jun 25, 2021 7:26 pm

Monty Python Terry Jones in drag bit.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Fri Jun 25, 2021 7:26 pm

Track 12 - All Smiles.

by Nightjar Fri Jun 25, 2021 7:26 pm

I think that this is probably the most successful song on the album.

by Nightjar Fri Jun 25, 2021 7:27 pm

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Fri Jun 25, 2021 7:29 pm

Last track - Everybody Else Is Wrong.

by Nightjar Fri Jun 25, 2021 7:29 pm

He does a better Macca voice than a Lennon.

by Nightjar Fri Jun 25, 2021 7:30 pm

Captures a sense of Lennon's bitterness though.
