The Album Review Club - Week #145 - (page 1923) - Tellin' Stories - The Charlatans

[Black&White&BlueMoon Town]

Are you effin' kidding me????

I looked at their Wikipedia page when thinking about something Electric and it in the discography it says nothing about a self-titled record (their discography has five) so I said "Can't be them."

Argh.

Lovers Electric - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

I also don't feel bad because this group wasn't listed with self titled not first albums either.

Mama's Boys and I never had a shot!

The chances of getting an album that we can all agree on are a million-to-one, but still, they come ....

Thanks to @BimboBob for his nomination, which certainly divided opinion. A few 10s were balanced out by a few 1s, but finally Jeff Wayne's Musical version of War of the Worlds scored an average of 6.11 from 19 voters.

A couple of thread notices before we move on:-

1. Two days ago, we passed the 3rd anniversary for the thread, so well done to everybody, especially the regulars, for participating in what is a fantastic discussion and voyage of discovery each time we get a new album.

2. After months of holidays and life going on pretty much unchanged, this week I have to face the start of the serious part of my cancer treatment. I'm hospital on Friday for HDR brachytherapy (nuclear rods up the bum to you and me!) and back out the next day, and hopefully things will continue relatively normally leading up to my 15-day radiotherapy session in a couple of weeks. Should I be indisposed next week, I'll rely on @Coatigan to keep things ticking over on here.

With that, it's over to @southamptonblue for this weeks choice .....

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.

I'm halfway through Dirty Honey and pretending I was right.

Good thing we don't judge on clues - unless we do! ;-)

If you would score Dirty Honey a 10.....feel free to pretend you were right when scoring!! Lol
'Honey' is actually the opening track on Lovers Electric ;)

Chase is on the case.

Had you down as more of a Rubble man.

I’m tempted to say we’re all rooting for you Rob, but with you describing what’s going up your jaxie it’s probably a poor choice of words.

All the best mate.

Enjoy the bum invasion!

Keep fighting mate, from personal experience you will get big up and down days, but hang in there, it does get better!

PM me if you need anything, if I can help I will.

Probably best to let the medical experts do the bum stuff

Good luck with the treatment @RobMCFC and thanks again for keeping the brilliant thread organised!!

Never heard of them but have them on now.
Pleasant enough, although very lightly poppy.
We’ll see what develops.

Agreed — I got through 75 percent and have enjoyed it as well.
