Reviews
Stay away from this one.
PROS: Most people have forgotten it.
CONS: Tracks 1 to 10
I can name you five reasons why you’d be much happier listening to the Sgt. Pepper soundtrack album.
1. The big hit single off the album was “Harlem Shuffle”, a cover of an uninspired R&B number by Bob & Earl from 1963.
2. Out of all ten songs, there is not even ONE single rocker where Mick, Keith or Charlie kick out the jams.
3. Many fans and critics thought the song “Had It With You” was written by Mick about Keith or by Keith about Mick.
4. “Gotta get into a fight/Can’t get out of it” – one of the dumbest lyrics ever sung by Mick.
5. “You better get some sleep tonight/All you gotta do is close your eyes” – one of the dumbest lyrics ever sung by Keith.
And there’s a bonus reason: Charlie’s facial expression on the cover says it all. He can’t even look at the camera he’s so embarrassed.- Okay so this isn’t a great album but it isn’t terrible and certainly nowhere near as bad as has been suggested by the critics. When all the old guard were making desperate albums in the eighties this is still very listenable. Come on they had already made at least 15 truly great albums let them come down slowly. You pick which 15. How many other artists managed that. Zeppelin, Purple , Sabbath, The Beatles nowhere near. Bowie....Dylan at a stretch.
