AAAC - Tues 13th Dec, Mansun - Attack of the grey lantern

Tru Dat. There are a few suspicious stains lingering from it’s last outing in 1994.

After reading Terry might like it - “it’s close to prog as indie produced”. I have had a go at listening to this this morning.
Struggled through and found it a real chore - I think it’s the upbeat fast pace of it all that mostly does me in. Also the Oasissy type vocal pop like harmonies annoy me a little.

My Fav track was the Chad who loved me - That was nice.

Whilst listening to this I cannot help to compare it against music that I am much more familiar with - Such as the Pines, Arcade fire and Phosphorescent for me it falls short of these.

…and finally,the hidden track from the cd.

Good track that !

Surprisingly enough I find it all just a touch dull…
It’s all very worthy, not enormously interesting musically-speaking - just a bit too Manics, though I can’t imagine any of these chaps carving “4 real” in their forearms!
Still, at least it’s not folk!
