Enjoyed revisiting this, Mitchell! I bought the CD back in the day, having read many positive reviews. I tried SO hard to like it, but all the pop/power pop/Byrdsian references promised in the rock press back then, while certainly present, just didn't blow me away...I think the cloak of either darkness or pessimism of their sound and/or lyrics did me in. I prefer my jangly guitars with a heavy dose of optimism! But, well done...33 years later, I gave it another honest shot!!
