Something of the Morrison about the vocals, the Nord Iron one.

All tracks are also available on the compilation album The Bang Years

Lifeless vocals dragging it down.

And the 60s production.

Strange how they went from this to arguably as good as it got in about 5 years.

It is over.

His voice was mostly a charisma-free zone but the album was filled with well-crafted tracks that knew what they were doing.

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

I shall give it 4 stars.

That was OK.

Generally decent songs (nothing at all bad) and it's impressive when you put it into context - i.e. that he wrote all the songs himself when he about 25.

That's pushing 30! Never trust anyone over 30!
