I love Spooky Boogie. The rest is plain awful.

Rubbish album, can’t even appreciate one nuance of it. Love Beach WHIPS Athis abysmal effort. Sorry, but can’t even sympathise with ANY track on here.

I'd rather forget this one. "Words from the Wise" if you're forcing me.

Though a very irrelevant album, it has some good song though. Friends takes my vote, Words of the Wise is also a good piece.

Spooky Boogie is the only thing worth listening too off of this one.

Wow, no votes for little brown bag? Yeah, this is a crappy album compared to their others but still better than some pop albums by prog artists. Anyway, I think I'll vote for spooky boogie since I think that's a good one to play around Halloween time. Next up would be Word to the wise and little brown bag. :) I'm actually not that familiar with this one. I should play it again. Then follow it up with love beach. :P

This would be way easier if it said "Least Favorite Track."

Me too....it's actually a well-structured, melodic tune...commercial? yes, but I can sing (passionately) along to this in the shower.......

"It's only goodbye, a smile and a cry, and suddenly over, when
I think of you now, in kindness allow. My memory lingers, then
It's only goodbye, my strength telling lies, Just facing what had to be."

OK, I'll dry myself off now.

^ Maybe the only tune that is seriously listenable from memory. The title song had a fun element to it, and the rest is direly painful. I refuse to own this platter. Even the cover is lame.
