Alex, I actually thought you may like this better than their first 2 albums (if you have heard them).



Then again, I know you didn't like 'Zounds' all that much and I see quite a few similarities between the 2 albums.

Eh, these songs just don't seem to actually go anywhere at all - they ditched the pop sensibility and seemed to throw structure out along with it in order to be different and it's all so aimless. But if someone likes the sound...

Agree on ditching the pop sensibility Alex... But I don't think it's all as aimless as you believe it to be. Although, as I said in the review, there are indeed a few too many missed steps.



But philly, there's lots of bright colours... & balls.



Not sure you will Adam. Probably 4 or 5 tracks.

Nice review as ever Davey. I haven't heard their first two, but I thought the first half of this was pretty decent, though nothing amazing. The second half though I thought was poor.

Call me a heretic if you want, but I think this is their best album.

"it was -10 F here the other day! ef u guys!" Trust me Sobhi, you don't want it this hot either. Bl00dy climate change. Stop driving to work people.



Thanks Ali. I absolutely have no issues at all with people saying the 2nd half of this album is poor. It is definitely over-ambitious for the most part & really out there. I'm surprised at myself for liking 'Before the Earth was Round' for example, but I just saw another review saying it is the front-runner for worst song of the year!



"Call me a heretic if you want, but I think this is their best album." You're a heretic... But so am I, because I agree. Although, I think we're in the minority.

Ok 'WTF?' is really good, but this doesn't warrant a 3 for just one song davey. Maybe a 1.5 or if I'm feeling generous a 2.

I totally agree with you IF you like just one song. I clearly like more than 1. Plus, many songs are growers... even 'WTF?' imo. I can't say I really really liked it all that much on 1st listen. But even that grew on me. And if you like that, you should also like 'White Knuckles' at the very least.

To be or not to be, that is the question.

I always took you for a Prince lover Roscoe. But careful, as I say in the review, the lead single is a bit misleading for the rest of the LP.

"Purple Rain" is the only Prince song I know that I know.

""Purple Rain" is the only Prince song I know that I know." Hunt down Let's Go Crazy & When Doves Cry.



"Yes" Thought it might make you look too clever for Sputnik if you spelled a city name properly, huh?
