The 1986 Listening Post - The Golden Palominos - Blast of Silence

The Golden Palominos - Blast of Silence


#45/1212
February 13 1986
The Golden Palominos
Blast of Silence
Genre: Hodgepodge
3.5 out of 5



I’m not entirely sure what’s happening here. Is Anton Fier influenced by whomever he works with (Like Stipe on the last record or Lovett here) OR does he write in a style and hire people to fit that style?
I don’t know. 
The songs here are so obviously reaching for commerciality that I can’t get past that. 
They aren’t good. They aren’t bad. They are just there. And considering that last record, it’s a damned shame. 
Blegvad is here. Holsapple. Matthew Sweet. 
All the songs are fine. But they are really anonymous.
