Spirit of Eden. I is not even cute Wink

I was rather determined to listen to all of the nominations in their entirety before voting this round. OK, so a couple of the albums have made that an impossible pledge to live up to but hey, at least I'm trying.

One of the advantages of encroaching senility is that I quite readily forget who I voted for in previous rounds but from vague memory I think I gave Frequency a positive in the first round and a ho hum in the second. Maybe the ho hum was a bit harsh, maybe not. I reckon that if I had found them in 1981 I might well have become a fan but I didn't and now their music kind of washes off rather than washes over. It all feels just a bit forced. Oh yes, and maybe this is all that Collins (or was it Palmer) fellow's fault but damn, the drums both never let up and/or are so far in front of the mix I'm half expecting them to lap the rest of the band. In short, and sorry but I don't do short very well do I , its all a bit forgettable and somewhat cliched.

On to Eden .... which I'm really only listening to because I want to. This was a first round find for me. I simply enjoy it more every time I play it. Brilliant.
