I'm impressed that she managed to keep a straight face.

Last one, Straight from the Heart

If this is the last song then the album's going to come in much shorter than the advertised 43:14. llama

Big finish.

by Nightjar Wed Apr 10, 2024 7:37 pm

Bit of a duff note to end the album on.

Not exactly bad, just a bit plodding.

by Nightjar Wed Apr 10, 2024 7:38 pm

Finished 5 minutes early.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Wed Apr 10, 2024 7:38 pm

It is over.

It was an album that became more enjoyable the more ludicrous it became.

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

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Wed Apr 10, 2024 7:39 pm

I shall give it 4 stars.

by SiberianPrincess’sMidriff Wed Apr 10, 2024 7:41 pm

Shame about the timid one to end on.

hmm

by Nightjar Wed Apr 10, 2024 7:42 pm

I have been disarmed and held at gunpoint by my negative preconceptions of what I thought that album would be like.

It was effectively, absurdly bombastic, yet stoney-faced serious despite the fact that it was inane and silly from more-or-less beginning to end.

The '80s is a different country - they do do things differently there

Four and an 'alf. Rounded down for the perfectly fine stuff that's not silly.

by Nightjar Wed Apr 10, 2024 7:45 pm

Phwoar bum'oles cos it was a thing that should be preserved in an hermetically sealed canister as a quintessential record of a particular cultural moment in humanity's history.
