The 1980 Listening Post - The Strand - The Strand

 The Strand - The Strand



May 1980

The Strand

The Strand

Genre: Stadium Rock

2.5 out of 5




Lowlights:

Dirty Little Girl



Produced by Jeff Porcaro. I mean, what else do you need to know?


Does it sound like watered down Toto? Yes. But without any hooks. 


However, singing a mid-tempo ballad like a love song but it’s “Dirty Little Girl”….makes you kinda wanna die inside. 


We’re missing 2 tracks and that’s now the limit for YouTube albums. Any more and we won’t cover them.


I don’t need to deduct points for that, though. It’s pretty trashy on it’s own.
