Ed Handley and Andy Turner are extremely talented. Their work on Plaid ranges from fantastic to absolutely brilliant. The fact that this album is so poor emphasizes what a colossal waste Ken Downie is. He dragged this album in the mud, and continued to produce garbage for the next decade. Handly and Turner recognized this, and left Downie to his own devices and formed Plaid. Plaid is excellent. The Black Dog is horrible.
