Beautiful Freak
EelsNot my preferred listening material - second half of album was more interesting to listen to than first half though. First half went a bit 'background listening' but "Flower" was my favourite track.

Excellent album - always worth another listen. 17 tracks meant that you got real value for money back in the day where you had to pay for it and all of them are superb. "Breaking The Girl" was a track I had forgotten and one that is arguably the best on the album for me.
Listening to this again brought the whole movie flooding back into my mind - tbh the two go perfectly together and the album makes more sense. THE rock opera/musical that sets the standards need to reach - a very enjoyable listen. "Pinball Wizard" is the 'obvious' song from the album but "Go To The Mirror!" was always my fav.
Before I listened to this, "Move On Up" was really the only track from Curtis Mayfield that I knew. Unfortunately "Superfly" has not added anything that I would regularly listen to - not a bad album at all but a one-listen run through.
I realised quickly why I never listen to Coldplay - everything is SO depressing! Only "Trouble" lifts me slightly but I won't be listening to this again.
"Common People" and "Disco 2000" are the obvious draws for this album but I enjoyed the lyrics of a lot of the songs on this album, "Underwear" being a highlight. One to listen to again.
This reminded me why I never listen to pure jazz
8 albums in and randomly been given two pure jazz ones, a genre that I'm not a fan of. At least this one is piano based and acts like 'restaurant music' but still something I will never listen to again!
