Cor, that was a bit of a slog.

It is over.

The first half of it was appealing but, by the second half, it was starting to outstay its welcome, especially with all the tracks being overly-long.

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

I shall give it 2 stars.

If you create a thread with a poll then delete it the poll options come through the next time you try to create a poll. Gorilla No

And apparently it won't let you vote.

Oh, well, at least it let me create the Bronski Beat one without any weirdness. Wonder if it'll let you vote on that one?

by SiberianPrincess’sMidriff Thu Dec 09, 2021 7:46 pm

We've not done that Bronski Beat album have we? hmn

Anyway, the first track was GR8, but the rest seemed to decend into a Producers plaything keen to show off his new toys with little no interest in the song.

I'm going to go, ★★★

But I can't vote. dunno

According to Wackopedia, this is the first instance of 80s drums

Drums by Phil, scared

It does have that magical Peter Gabriel magic of sounding like it should be good, has new bits introduced at the right times, but by about 3 minutes, and your attention wanders onto something, anything else.

I don't quite know how he does it.
