It's grim enough to make a cry.

Track 7 - Like an Old Blues.

Like An Old Blues

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.

Track 8 - Crystal Gazing.

Slightly The Dan at the end there.

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.

Sounds like a Wombles song.

Gone a bit pre-Fame Bowie gone earlyish Yes.

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

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