Roll up the sleeves on your shoulder-padded spangly jacket and do your Loureeddevo dance.

Yeah, it'll save 'em trailing in the gorilla dirt.

Their first one's still my fave. This one has the best cover, tho.

Nope, this is their masterpiece and one of my all-time faves.

It's Low and The Idiot as Arena Rock. And better than at least one of those, too.

Side One is absolutely perfect. Side Two is merely great.

Hm, never thought of it that way. I'll have to go back and give it another listen.

Still, my favorite line of theirs has always been "it's an orangey sky/always with some other guy..." Weird, lovely image.

First album is one of my all time faves, chock full of classics, but Candy-O is sublime and could be even better! The title track is a masterpiece....the lead guitar work is stellar!

Wow, I went back and listened to this album again tonight, forgetting about the first and thinking instead of Low and The Idiot as reference points. I have to say, it took on a whole new dimension.

Thanks for the new perspective!
