Worst track on the album so far. Just get on with it.

Turned to generic rock right at the end.

It is over.

With its forgettable songs, ham-fisted banging and crashing and its gratuitous bass noodlings, it was highly alienating.

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

I shall give it 2 stars.

Unless you were a virtuoso fusion bassist and Scientologist that is.

That was as I hoped judging by the front cover. I have to admit I still don't know who any of these people are but it was an enjoyable listen with many stereotypical thrilling mid 80s moments. The first few songs were likeable, if a bit bland and generic, but the latter songs became a bit more epic - instrumentals included - other than the last one which I didn't like.

3.5/5 - rounded......

...down to 3/5 for voting.

It was a bit better than I feared.

Occasionally it even toyed with the off-the-wall concept of being entertaining.

That is my review.

Let's just remind ourselves what his older stuff sounds like;

Massive typo fail.

Somebody took the 'L'.

Gorilla No

Just as long as no one took the 'P'.
