Look Hear by 10cc

This album seems left over from 1970s. It came out in 1980. It plays as innocuous non-descript background music which avoids at all costs being in anyway outstanding. 

I at first was intrigued by the band’s name 10cc which most people thought was a reference to the average amount of cum from a man’s ejaculation. But the story like the album is less interesting than that. It actually came to the lead singer in a dream….in reference to nothing…

The sound of all of the tracks are 70s folk pop with a hint of high end tinny percussion..aka Bee Gees Disco. 

At every turn this album seeks to not offend or stand out in anyway. I think I read that it was done as a kind of b-side without some of the original members of the band. Post some of the bands more aggressive better albums.  It certainly plays like that. 

As I was listening to the tracks my wife asked in passing, “what is that horrible music?”  That says it all.
