I don't mean that i silly way either.
They're a really overbearing, uneasy combination of rock, prog, new wave, hair metal...

Is this like their attempt at "I Wanna Be Like You" from The Jungle Book?

I believe that the technical term is "schizophonic".

It is over.
It was better than the other album because George had the sense to turn the drummer down a bit but it was still a hopeless mess.
Now to look back at the thread and see what everybody else made of it.

I can't tell.

What I don't understand is how come their most famous song is an exercise in restraint and filled with a pleasing sense of space, when everything else by them is oppressively crammed with sound.

Maybe we should have done the album that one was on, instead.

It seems like all of the albums they did before the two we've done are considerably better regarded by all and sundry.
