The 1986 Listening Post - The Virgin Prunes - The Moon Looked Down and Laughed

The Virgin Prunes - The Moon Looked Down and Laughed



#26/1183
January 1986
The Virgin Prunes
The Moon Looked Down and Laughed
Genre: Pretentious Goth
1.75 out of 5

This is the death rattle of a genre dying. I don’t know anything about Virgin Prunes but this album tries so hard to sound like it’s notifying hard to be important and ominous and the voice of saddoes. I don’t know if I had any room for this in my life in 86. It’s a relic today.
This is the kind of stuff you get from a local off-off-off Broadway theater company that fancies itself “cutting edge” when really they just aren’t talented enough to pay on a bigger stage.
