Genre: Glass Rhythms
3.75 out of 5
Highlights:
Changing Hearts
Mean Cow
Requisite 80s cover: The Beatles’ “Rain”. A completely unnecessary and uninteresting vserson to close out an album that runs out of steam.
This is what it sounds like if Philip Glass was the keyboardist for The Cars and was able to wrest control from Ocasek.
The only problem being that Glass wouldn’t have allowed Ric (Or Roy Thomas Baker) to produce is so it sounds like mud.
Otherwise, this is a neat sophomore record to the highly danceable first record. A lot more herk to jerk.
On the heels of, say, Bow Wow Wow, this really suggests that Philip Glass knew where the wind was blowing (i.e “Quiet Spot”). He just let it blow him to the Brooklyn Academy of Music instead.
