The areas immediately around German city train stations in the '80s was pretty sordid.

I went to see my gf in in Hamburg in 1989 and waited for a while in the Hansaplatz opposite the Hauptbahnhoff and I'd never seen such a scene of broken, discarded, abject humanity.

Tis over.

It is over.

It was far too like other, more famous bands to impress and the production was too clean.

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

I shall give it 3 stars.

by Butterfield Thu Dec 21, 2023 7:41 pm

Well, that was all perfectly acceptably pleasant, if a little generic at times and dated, even for its time, plus the fact that half the songs sounded like other songs. I liked it though, some great 80s production on it.

4/5

I have scored it.

But I'm not 100% certain I can put into words why I have scored it so.

by SiberianPrincess’sMidriff Thu Dec 21, 2023 7:47 pm

It was fine, I guess. I gave it ★★ which was a bit mean, but can't change vote now

by Nightjar Thu Dec 21, 2023 8:12 pm

No, it was the right score.

All-in-all it gets a very generous combined score of ★★★/★★★★★.

Our collective consciousness is clear.
