This album sounds, like…

I'll wait till it's over.

by Nightjar Sun Jul 03, 2022 7:54 pm

This is one of the better songs on the album in fairness.

by Nightjar Sun Jul 03, 2022 7:56 pm

If only the lyrics and singing weren't so sepulchral this would be quite bounce

-worthy.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sun Jul 03, 2022 7:56 pm

Track 9 - Free Ride.

by Nightjar Sun Jul 03, 2022 7:56 pm

I think that this one might be OK too.

I mean, relatively speaking.

Track 10 - Harvest Breed.

Harvest Breed

This album is getting better.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sun Jul 03, 2022 8:00 pm

Last track - From the Morning.

Last one: From The Morning

It is over.

It was OK but lacked the variety that would have made it interesting.

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

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sun Jul 03, 2022 8:03 pm

I shall give it 3 stars.

That's the 9 pints of Stella and accompanying 9 Goldschläger depth charges you downed about an hour ago kicking in. yes

by SiberianPrincess’sMidriff Sun Jul 03, 2022 8:06 pm

Ended.

I remember it being better.

Half the songs sounded like the sort of tracks they dig up to stick onto bonus CDs To rush out re-releases of the famous album when the artist dies.

Mind you'd I'd rather try this on again to see if anything sticks than the MC5 one.

by Nightjar Sun Jul 03, 2022 8:10 pm

Obviously John and Beverley were to blame... gossip

However, I always remember this album, despite its brevity and supposed acoustic lightness, being a bit of a heavy trip.

Especially if you were 17 and had been indulging in hash bongs.

And especially if you'd been me at that time and would've'd liked to be brave and admit you'd rather listen to Five Leaves Left.

Or, maybe, er... Atom Heart Mother...

Anyway, this album has a quality of gloominess and insularity that makes the last few tracks on The Madcap Laughs seem genuinely cheerful.

No, my ma was from the other side of the 'Strat.

by Nightjar Mon Jul 04, 2022 3:56 pm

3 pages of commentary is a pretty feeble showing.

MC5 managed 5.

I had nowt to say.
