![]() ![]() Live In The City of Light - Ponderous versions of songs I didn't want to hear even in short, succinct versions! A queasy listening experience for me considering what I'd come to expect from these guys. That's how those first seven albums affected me for what came after. I love this band, even though they vex me. Is there one great post-1998 Minds album to get? I haven't heard any of em. I've tried to listen to it lately and still haven't gotten through the whole thing. I enjoyed Good News (not as keen on it these days, but it's ok), but I was totally baffled by Neapolis. The TP entry seems to coincide with the notion that the band went to complete shit with Once Upon a Time. ![]() But again, I wasn't a fan in 82 and didn't live through it. It seems that they were already heading towards a bigger/poppier sound before 85. But I never considered Once Upon to be a radical departure from the earlier work. I knew the hits first, and it was also a developmental time and I probably preferred the 'safer' sounds of the later albums. I got into the band in the 90s, so my perspective on the Once Upon a Time era is skewed. Well worth finding (I got mine for like $18 on amazon). Nice little box with a booklet and poster. And I was also impressed with the fancy packaging. It's a cool concept and they executed it very well. I purchased 5x5 Live solely based on this posting, and I wasn't disappointed. ![]()
