Doesn't sound very dancey so far.

I've just noticed that half of Manassas are guesting on this album.

No wonder.

It is over.

It started off promisingly but became increasingly dull as it went along.

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

I shall give it 3 stars.

Well, I thought that was triffic.

Not their most typical or representative album, but that's probably why I like it better than their others.

Also, I'm an absolute sucker for OTT production and Crazy Eyes and Magnolia just ticked all the boxes for me.

That said, with those factors in mind, it's a somewhat uneven album where the more authentic-sounding, energetic country-rock Poco songs get a bit drowned out.

Still...

I have gone faintly berserk and given it way too many stars. hmn
