STRANDED

Nice, but worse that For Your Pleasure. There are a couple of thing here that bother me: this album sounds way too "bourgeois" for me to enjoy it fully, and the worst song here is "Psalm": it's way too long and with religious lyrics, and I don't like it, it's pretty boring. And "Sunset" is not a very interesting way to end this album. The rest is much better though. "Street Life" (a good rocker), "Just Like You" (a nice ballad with another good Ferry's performance), "Amazona" (nice guitar!), "A Song For Europe" (a dark and decadent song), and "Mother Of Pearl (which features a nice vocal melody) are all winners. "Serenade" is not as good as those though. Nice, but not perfect. The album cover's their best.
