This one's a bit dull.

Track 9 - Live a Lie.

Bit tame this one.

Unusual chords for a record in this genre.

Plainsong? shifty

Groovy Motown sitar style guitar sound.

Gone a bit '70s US telly programme theme tune again.

Maybe the closing credits theme from the show I was imagining at the beginning of the album? hmm

Bit more pensive.

It is over.

I felt it was a mixed bag, with some genuinely interesting tracks mingling amidst more run-of-the-mill stuff.

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

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sat Feb 12, 2022 7:33 pm

I shall give it 3 stars.

Well, that was ultimately a bit anaemic and anodyne.

It was all quite wishy-washy and, I can't help thinking' that it might've played better with white audiences that black.

It was never of course bad in any way exactly, but - and this is a cliche (but all the best cliches are overbearingly true) - THAT WAS PART OF THE PROBLEM!!

No edge.

No funk.

Gritty soul absent without leave.

A mere twin Wendi-sanctioned b*mholes.
