Doesn't sound very thundery.

You're not from the Midlands though, remember.

Thunder sounds like this in somewhere, like, say Sutton Coldfield.

I think they're from Hollywood.

South Birmingham.

Over the border in Worcestershire, actually. stare

It is over.

That was a very accomplished and confident album, filled with proper playing and catchy tunes.

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

Anyway it is over.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sat Jul 01, 2023 7:41 pm

I shall give it 4 stars.

by Butterfield Sat Jul 01, 2023 7:43 pm

I enjoyed that. It did feel a bit flat after the initial epic two hits but carried on nicely throughout, with some pleasant production. I can see why Toni Blaxploitationburn was taken in by them straight away.

4/5

I though it sound like

But it had enough charm, they just need a better singer shifty

★★★★

I enjoyed that.

There was a strong sameyness throughout (Le Blob's vocals, the coldly metallic sound and the slightly overbearing and archly posturing technical playing), but that aside it was a good-value ride at the funfair of neo-synth pop that would come to donimate the next 5+ years...

Funf sterne von mir.

Total ★★★★ consensus.

by Butterfield Sat Jul 01, 2023 7:50 pm

Gosh.

Like, don't ever even try to listen to and score the only album to ever get ★★★★★ across the board. budgie menace

Didn't City Boy's album get 5 stars from all who heard it?

I think The Motors' might have, as well.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sat Jul 01, 2023 8:52 pm

I have just checked.

The Motors got 4 stars from all who'd heard it.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sat Jul 01, 2023 8:53 pm

City Boy did indeed get a 100% 5-star vote.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sat Jul 01, 2023 8:53 pm

It is, therefore, officially the gr8test album ever made.

by SiberianPrincess’sMidriff Sat Jul 01, 2023 8:57 pm

And that Pretty Things album.

Just the two of us though.

SFS was a threefer.

ergo: SF Sorrow > City Boy.
