It's grim enough to make a

Elton John's showed up.

I bet Whispering Bob loved this lot.

Production suddenly sounds a bit dampened.

Every song has featured a couple of nice and engaging bits, but then it just swerves off into the stubbly undergrowth of serendipity.

Harmonica.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Tue 2 Jul 2024 - 19:32

Track 8 - Crystal Gazing.

by Nightjar Tue 2 Jul 2024 - 19:32

Slightly The Dan at the end there.

by Nightjar Tue 2 Jul 2024 - 19:32

Espanish guitar.

Crystal Gazing

See, there he goes again.

Stop showing off, and write a freakin' song.

It's a bit like a less irritating Gentle Giant, and in a weird way, that make it not quite as good.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Tue 2 Jul 2024 - 19:33

Sounds like a Wombles song.

by Nightjar Tue 2 Jul 2024 - 19:34

Gone a bit pre-Fame Bowie gone earlyish Yes.

by Nightjar Tue 2 Jul 2024 - 19:34

It doesn't help matters that he's a very mediocre singer.

by SiberianPrincess’sMidriff Tue 2 Jul 2024 - 19:35

Might be a good song under all this bombast. Maybe.
