Had ~~you rage-quit~~ gone on holiday to Leicester when we did The Vapors?

Cos, that was actually quite good if my memory serves me well.
Yes, I remember liking that album.

The musicianship was superb I seem to recall.

And the songs were pretty solid.

And then it ended with that longish "Letter To Hiro" track at the and that was triffic, especially the coda.

I even put it on my iPod.

It is over.

It started off promisingly but quickly degenerated into sounding like a capable band playing songs written by a malfunctioning AI.

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

I shall give it 2 stars.

Nah.

It was disappointing though.

All of the things Wedni said basically.

In fairness, the first two tracks were the high point of the album.
