It is over.

I felt it was a collection of weak, unfocused songs being over-sung.

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

I shall give it 2 stars.

When They Begin teh Beguine was Meher Baba's favourite song.

I'm convinced that all of Hanky Face Dances was structurally based on it.


And the Lifehouse Project.



And the Lighthouse Family.

Well, that was enjoyable. Nothing else quite as epic as the opening track and a tad generic disco in places but always sung with a thrilling voice.

4/5

It was quite the let down that.

Lots of elements that may well have been good with the right accompaniment(s).

None of which came together to create a coherent or even consistently enjoyable set of songs.

Not really even a coherent or even consistently enjoyable passage of music within any of the songs.

A frowzy, clumsy, uncomfortable, over-cooked and actually quite boring collision of performers, songwriters, producers and arrangements that amounted to something like a 'car crash' of an album.

mighty bum chocolate in other words.

Should've done Dee D. instead.
