The band are barely on it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jukeblue Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 Quite a superficial review which is fair enough. Not everyone out there is as into the band as the fans who this release is aimed at are. Not everybody gave his best albums 5 stars either. That's music 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They feel so present and close that listeners might feel they’re violating the pandemic rules. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Where it stands in the pantheon, history will judge, what I’ll say for certain though, is that it is incredible how fresh it all sounds, Maybe the ghosts of rock n roll are the elixir for eternal youth Quote Link to post Share on other sites
