    The Album Review Club - Week #146 - (page 1935) - Ocean Rain - Echo and the Bunnymen

    Lovers Electric/Lovers Electric I thought that it started well and as you would expect a little thrill of excitment with the speed and vibe of it. A nice voice but I thought that the backing, whilst occasionally interesting almost had the feel of a childs toy guitar/toy xylophone just lacked...

    But where would the fun be in that...and you would miss pointing out that we have been pretty bloody average so far this season....average in most games and then just awful yesterday

    I always try and take a positive from a negative and so would simply suggest to @RobMCFC that it will be just like being pegged (so I am told). Good luck.

    Donald Trump

    "" Watched this last night. Scary in the fact that it was in effect down to a few good moral people who refused to bend under pressure, that we did manage to get Trump out of the WH in 2020

    Of it's time and of it's place (as backing to BB's parents swinging parties). I did think that perhaps the coming of aliens may have been akin to the coming of prog rock or perhaps more precisely with this, synths and electronica. I also thought that it was perhaps spoilt (or aided) as with...

    A couple more listens in the house and volume up and think this was much better. I also pondered what it would be like if Matt Bellamy "Re-imagined" this Do they go better with the dogs & cats?

    Besides the opening track I don't think I had ever listened to this before. So my journey home from work yesterday morning was filled with Dicky Burton & doom. Enjoyable but I was left with the feeling that this album really needs to be listened to sat back in a large room on a good system...

    With the clock ticking down to "score time" I'm afraid I shall have to "dip" out of this one (see what I did there?) as I have only managed one full listen whilst at work tonight and so haven't been able to give it the time it deserves. So I wont sully the overall score without putting in the...

    And whilst everyone else appears to have given this full consideration, I have still to give it the first listen. Back from sunny Croatia with a 20 degree drop in temp as we landed in Dublin. Just caught up with the thread and not sure whether I should have given this a listen prior to reading...

    A short sentence but one that filled me with pride, but don't spread it wider thatn this thread...friends with a dipper!!!! That reminded me of a story from one of my work colleagues who used to be a copper based out of Preston. One of his team used to indulge in something that was referred to...

    First saw them at Stairways in Birkenhead. Later at Kilburn Ballroom where Mutley got a direct hit between the eyes (impressive shot) from someone spitting from the front. Without hesitation he wipes it with his finger, tastes it .... "Aye, I can tell we're down south, there's spunk in that...

    I'm not sure you are regularly as "curmudgeonly" as @BimboBob ...but fair and honest and not meant as a sleight. As for Pixies they were excellent.I even found this grumpy old 55yr old inadvertently moving my legs and shoulders along with it all. No chat, no bullshit just onstage, wave and...

    No matter what the score I always like your responses. After reading that one along with last weeks I immediately thought of ..... but couldnt decide which one would be you and which of the regualrs you would be sitting beside..

    Very enjoyable pick this week and I wonder if this is about the first week where none of the regulars had ever listened to or owned this choice? So hats off to Fog for really catching everyone off guard. Will certainly be interesting as to whether CR changes or reinvents herself over time as per...

    Listened again and think I was a little dismissive with the "bubblegum pop" labelling. There is a bit more to it and was perhaps focussing too much on "Pink Pony Club" which was bubblegum and actually became a little annoying. Will give it another listen tomorrow before scoring, but certainly...

    My thoughts exactly. You cannot judge how well Slots team will play based on the opposition. Even today Im not sure it was because we were good or Trafford Utd were simply shit. As others have said, the issue is the midfield. As good as Szobozslai is I do think he may burn out again. He started...
