Track 4 - Backwards Traveller.

This is another of my faves on the album. I always like it when he gets a bit surreal lyrically.

OOh, I've got a picture of that somewhere...

What's that odd warbling noise? scared

I also like his vocals arriving at the beginning, like they're coming at us backwards down a tube. The only other place I've heard that effect is on Tug of War.

Track 5 - Cuff Link.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sun 9 Feb 2020 - 21:13

Synth-heavy instrumental that could have slotted nicely on Back to the Egg. Probably the only track on this album that could have.

I bet a million B*atles fan wish he really could go back in time.

I do have to say I do like the first two-thirds of this album. Excited

by Guest Sun 9 Feb 2020 - 21:13

Quite liked that one. yes

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sun 9 Feb 2020 - 21:13

Track 6 - Children Children.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sun 9 Feb 2020 - 21:14

And this is where it all starts to go wrong.

Denny gets a song! dontpanic

by Guest Sun 9 Feb 2020 - 21:14

I think I was talking about Cuff Link. yes

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sun 9 Feb 2020 - 21:14

And the album's Folk influences start to make themselves apparent. dontpanic

by Guest Sun 9 Feb 2020 - 21:14

Back to the syrup. sad yes

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sun 9 Feb 2020 - 21:15

Cliche Folk vocal stylings. dontpanic

by Guest Sun 9 Feb 2020 - 21:16

Can't seem to get this loud enough. It just seems like it's coming from another room.

This is unusual for Wings innit?

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sun 9 Feb 2020 - 21:16

Track 7 - Girlfriend.

by Guest Sun 9 Feb 2020 - 21:16

Girlfriendo.

by Guest Sun 9 Feb 2020 - 21:17

Girlfriend, I'm going to tell your boyfriend
Tell him exactly what you're doing
Tell him what you do to me

Sly

This is my least favourite track on the album. He wrote of for Michael Jackson and, when it looked like Jackson wasn't going to record it, put it on this album.

Then it turned out Jackson had recorded it and had included it on Off the Wall. rant
