Here I am, reading about this Album, hearing it to be another Brian Eno album, so I'm expecting the weird.
But when "Do the Strand" and "Editions of You" came on, I was baffled on how the two songs were so good. They were catchy, they were upbeat, they had good chorus and verses...They were just so fun.
Of course, being Brian Eno had a big hand in this, the rest of the Album was pretty down and dark, with some nonsense chanting, creepy lyrics, and undertone galore. It was still fine, but it was artistically crazy. Good vocals, good guitar, wicked synthesizer.
But the two upbeat songs belong in classic rock genre, not art rock.
Also, the model on the front cover has a really insane backstory. Amanda Lear, check it out.
