With all the Phil Collins apologists around here I'll gladly proclaim my lack of hate for EW. No shame here. I might even go as far as to say I like it minus a few really bad tunes on it.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑14 Nov 2018, 7:23amTo the Musical Shame thread!revbob wrote: ↑13 Nov 2018, 9:48pmI'm not gonna lie I played the shit out of my cassette copy back in the day.

Re: What Are you Listening to Right Now?
It's nowhere close to being a bad album. It's just a bit of a wasted opportunity when Joe could've produced much better. Joe desperately trying to be the English Springsteen did him no favours.revbob wrote: ↑14 Nov 2018, 8:07amWith all the Phil Collins apologists around here I'll gladly proclaim my lack of hate for EW.

Re: What Are you Listening to Right Now?
I must have heard EW a hundred times and there are still songs on there I can't remember when I look at the titles. A lot of it is totally forgettable.

Re: What Are you Listening to Right Now?
I can remember some of the tunes but the claustrophobic feel to the lyrics are what kills it for me. The songs are not allowed to breathe.

Re: What Are you Listening to Right Now?
This is true. I guess CtC's perverse virtue is that the awful is entirely memorable. Better to be remembered and jeered than forgotten altogether.
