I did Astral Weeks. I missed a couple though before that — a few weeks each quarter work takes over my life. Which one?
Trust me , it’s a blessing you missed the budos band

Great review as usual Foggy, not sure I agree with it all, although I accept there are a number of similarities between TWB , PF, EATB and a number of other 80s bands
around at the time including The Alarm and Simple Minds both which I can’t stand.
I think the big difference with TWB or MS is that they continued to reinvent themselves every few albums , the album after this one ‘Fisherman Blues’ being case in point.
I’ve picked up on an anti-Alarm sentiment in the music threads before and I don’t understand it. Is is because Mike Peters is a United fan?I’m definitely not an Alarm fan but I do like Sparkle In The Rain by SM, and New Gold Dream is okay. Otherwise their output was in between banal and infuriating.
I’m sure people will come on here and says it’s because they shite or crap, but what I’m struggling to understand is why people think that?
All I can assume is that nobody has heard the Change album.

Oh, sorry — not that I’ve heard much by them — really meant more that I’m not a fan of them like I am E and TB or PF or 1.5 records of SM (and not the rest) comparatively. I do recall listening to a record by them that was okay but not memorable (clearly since I can’t remember it).I’ve picked up on an anti-Alarm sentiment in the music threads before and I don’t understand it.

What I’ve heard of The Alarm , I’d always considered them as an inferior U2,I’ve picked up on an anti-Alarm sentiment in the music threads before and I don’t understand it. Is is because Mike Peters is a United fan?

I’ve never listened to the ‘Change’ album until today and unfortunately bar the odd track my opinion hasn’t changed.
