Fictions
Genre: Skinny Ties and Sax
2.5 out of 5
And then there was Fictions. There are some bands that hit the New Wave angles hard with taut pop songs like Fingerprintz and The Jags and then there are disciples of Elvis who miss the mark slightly enough to be relegated to the dustbin of the bins that you find under the shelves at Amoeba. No one ever buys it. It just sits there and, even though it’s just $2, you pass on it. There’s better stuff out there.
This album is basically a battle between Guitarist WS Sherman’ energetic tunes on Side Two and Bassist Greg Stephens more New Wavy stuff on Side One and neither come out winners.
This is 2nd rate Cars (“Shuffle”) and nothing really gets far above that.
