The Album Review Club - Week #139 - (page 1815) - Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of The War Of The Worlds

[RobMCFC]

It's changeover day today, and as I mentioned last week, I've had to rejig the schedule a bit due to people taking a bit of time off the thread for one reason or another. Here's how the remainder of round #3 is currently looking:-

21st Jul - @Mancitydoogle
28th Jul - @GoatersLeftShin
4th Aug - @Coatigan
11th Aug - @southamptonblue

@denislawsbackheel - I know you said you couldn't make your original date, so I put you down as "end of the round" - just let me know what date suits you to join in again.

@Bill Walker - You missed out last week, so I can add you in for 18th August if that suits you?

Anybody else - just let me know if you want to join or re-join the list of nominators when the above list is done.
Otherwise it will be on to round #4.

Unoriginal, decent enough for that not to matter. Continuing what seems to be a common bm theme of being critical on singers, the vocals kinda grate on me. Otherwise I'd happily listen to this a lot more. A solid 6.

Think I’ve been listening to a different album to some others. Found it OK in parts but rarely rose above that. The singer is weak, nothing stood out, certainly don’t get all the comparisons that others have mentioned, most outlandish of which was I think Roddy Frame/Postcard

A 5 for me

Many thanks to @bennyboy for stepping in at the last minute last Thursday to give us all something to listen to.
He was rewarded with a slight uptick in numbers - 12 listeners giving James King and the Lonewolves an average of 6.58 and 13th place in the table.

I've updated the schedule on page #1 and posted an update this morning so please see the latest dates if you haven't yet nominated for round #4.

Now it's time for @Mancitydoogle to gives us a few clues to his choice.

Ok let’s start with a few picture clues

 

[RobMCFC]

First photo looks familiar but I can't for the life of me remember what it represents!

Take away/curry?

Bob Hoskins.

As you can see, I'm not ready for a guess yet!

[Mancitydoogle]

Nope

 

[Mancitydoogle]

its an English band who made only one album in the late nineties.
Clues are obviously for the bands name.
