Part of this is genuinely amazing work, branching multiple styles and genres together into a concise and beautiful work. Another part is a decent to good assortment of ideas and concepts, with some humour to remind you that a human was behind all of this somewhere. It certainly sounds like something made 22 year ago, but it feels like it holds up can't really fault that.
I enjoyed this. It's quaint. Feels like an ornate Christmas card given by a colleague.
Best Tracks: Go or Go Ahead, 14th Street, Want, Harvester of Hearts, Dinner at Eight
Is this album good? Yes. At the very least, I like it.
Could this album be better with more...refined mastering? Perhaps. Parts of it could have been tuned down. It's get very "fuzzy" at parts, though not a lot of clipping (maybe my ears are off). But that doesn't faze me (yeah, probably off), this album is pretty sweet. I don't have any real memories from it, but it's an album where you kind of know the first half of it already, due to singles/airplay. Hell, probably the deeper cuts too. And it's fun, at least my first actual listen. Maybe when I'm in my 40s, I'll come back to it and feel different about it. Right now, I think good.
Best tracks: Right on Time, Around the World, Otherside, Get on Top, Easily
You have lost your mind if you hate this. Simply the best.
Best tracks: Smooth Operator, Sally, We Can't Live Together, Frankie's First Affair, When Am I Going to Make a Living
It's like a better rockabilly, more fun and full of action. I need more Desert Blues. I need more of this. God bless.
Best Tracks: Desert Melodie, Mali, Ai Tchere Bele, Irganda, Jolie
It's good. A lot of blues and psych rock in it. I guess that makes sense given the genre. Good first "real" (idk how else to put it, I feel like I've heard iron maiden in passing/by chance a lot without knowing) impression of the band.
Best Tracks: Strange World, Transylvania, Prowler, Iron Maiden, Charlotte the Harlot
