10cc
Windows in the Jungle
1.5 out of 5
Highlights:
City Lights
City Lights
If 10cc was ever good I wasn’t around for it. This is self-important prog-rock middle of the road pap.
I would rather listen to The Beach Boys’ “Kokomo” on repeat for a week than ever listen to “Oomachasaooma” again. Ok, that’s hyperbole, but, I feel pretty strongly about my dislike of this song.
Much of this record feels like the whitest boys in the world trying to sound like BoyzIIMen. And yes, I know they wouldn’t be around for a while but I have no frame of reference for this garbage.
It’s not bad enough that these tracks are terrible, they are also stupidly long and have absolutely no business being more than 3 minutes a piece. I hate this band. (Okay, I kind of enjoy “City Lights” where the band sounds like they are trying to be as much like Squeeze meets Chicago as possible)
