Highlights:
City Out of Control
“Well, that last record didn’t work, mates. What say we just try to be AC/DC for a while?
Well, that didn’t work. What is it? Are we terrible?
That can’t be it. I mean, can it?”
It can.
They try for the pop road with “Fashion and Fame” but that feels like they are trying to write a single and it’s much ado about little. But count me in on the aggressively scratchy follow up “City Out of Control” which, along with “Living on the Outside”, (just go with me on this) feels like they listened to a lot of INXS and The Alarm.
The album unfolds strangely, with the better tracks omg side one being at the end of Side One.
And the band continues this on Side two where they sow their heartland rock oats and we get harmonica mixed in with the rock.
I feel this album’s order is messed up…hang on a sec…even though the US release has a different order they still manage to screw it up.
A shame.
