A mess
Wasn't my favorite that year. Still quite MOR but based on sounds I like (garage/psych, shoegaze). Strangely, I like Ashcroft's music best when it veers towards Cosmic Country.
I don't know if it's because I listened to this album every day for months or because they had a strange release plan, but I remember like seven singles coming from it. Plenty of great songs that sound like a more romantic Devo.
Haven't listened to this entire album before. It's instantly recognizable as Ray Davies, though. Creativity abounds (No Return is lightweight Bossa Nova, immediately followed by Harry Rag which is borderline shanty) and absolute Britishness shines through nearly every song in both the lyrics and the music.
