Not their best compared to their commercial success.
This guy's voice is the worst. It's like somebody dared him to use the most ridiculous delivery possible and play it straight, and he followed through, the madman. Also the saxophone player is out of tune half the time. Best track: The Teams That Meet in Caffs
Ja, dat was 'm dan ook weer niet voor mij...
I feel like the lead vocalist's sound is an inside joke that I'm just not in on. I mean listen to "Tell Me When My Light Turns Green" or "I'm Just Looking" and help me understand what is going on. It's like the first time I heard "I Believe in a Thing Called Love" from "The Darkness" and I struggled to understand if it was authentic or satire. Looking over my difference in taste for the vocalist, tracks like "The Teams That Meet in Caffs" gave me a chance to consider the band on it's own. As a unit, they sound good. Not necessarily great, but good. I think they would probably sound great as a part of the background din of a pub, but the vibe didn't translate to recording in my opinion. In the end, I couldn't bring myself to finish the album. My only assumption as to why this is on the list would be because of the impact the album had in it's historical context. Given this is the 2nd album by this band that I've come across in the list, I'm a bit concerned. Especially given I've yet to see entire genres (i.e. classical, world music) represented. I can't really fathom how this one is on the list at all.
the only listenable track is the instrumental "the team that meet in caffs" reaally annoying album
Friggin‘ lame 1.0
Not really for me.
1:49 for a one hit wonder that doesn't contain the hit? Nope
Think I made it to the 4th track. All I could manage. Hateful
Wow. What is this even? Please miss me with this. Absolutely hated it.
The other Dexys album didn't irritate me this much.. His voice is intensely annoying, all the instruments sound out of tune, its just a hot mess
Trash
Not for me
Big brass band combined with rock, not my cup of tea.
