Having said that, this one's developing a bit more interestingly.

I think she's trying to do a Donna Summer on this one. dunno

See!

It hasn't done anything for me yet.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sat 8 Feb 2020 - 21:31

Although she's reached a bit that sounds like The Push Bike Song. shifty

Is Wendi listening to this LP on double speed? Sly

by Nightjar Sat 8 Feb 2020 - 21:33

Eh?

Was that the last song?

Have I done something wrong? dontpanic

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sat 8 Feb 2020 - 21:34

Last track - Gullible Fool.

It's over 7 minutes long! dontpanic

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sat 8 Feb 2020 - 21:34

It has a video. That must mean it was a single. Excited

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sat 8 Feb 2020 - 21:35

How was this a single? It's like listening to paint dry.

by Guest Sat 8 Feb 2020 - 21:35

So far I think it could have done with having at least one song chopped off. yes

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sat 8 Feb 2020 - 21:36

This version seems to be only 4 minutes long. Thank God for that.

by Guest Sat 8 Feb 2020 - 21:36

It's the ballad that'll grow into a groove monster!

Possibly.

by Nightjar Sat 8 Feb 2020 - 21:36

I'm going to have some cauliflower cheese and watch the new Nicolas Cage/H.P. Lovecraft movie now.

It doesn't get any better than that.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sat 8 Feb 2020 - 21:37

This has her strongest vocals on the album.

That's not to say they're actually great.

Here's the full version:

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sat 8 Feb 2020 - 21:40

It is over.

I feel that was an LP that had some decent tracks on it but suffered from uninspired production, songwriting and musicianship and from weak vocals. Also, there was a crippling lack of variety when it came to how the tracks sounded.

I suspect I'm going to prefer the short version. yes

Wot Wendykins said.

Not without it's charms, and I think on repeated listens it would improve, but it's the worst La Roux album

Do you think she's err.. a bit of a tomboy?
