I give that one a literary award for most convoluted sentences.
One might think "pisses me off" references Caffery, but not too sure.
"nothing too original"
"I’ve always found re-arranging classics or traditionals as lazy… especially if it’s done way too often. And boy does TSO do it an awful lot"
"wasting a good singer like that is a bit silly"
that pretty much summarizes it for me.
While a hit album on the chart only means that a lot of people bought, not that a lot of people like it. Creating anticipation is a great way to create a hit, as fans are will buy whatever is released. Unlike a Rick Wakeman who puts out so many albums a year fans just give up on buying them all and thus no hits. The real sign of a hit is in a year does the album THEN make the charts. The long after the fact sales, like Xmas Eve Sarajevo was, is the sign of real success.
Wasn't thrilled with Night Castle, but it was better. Fireflies I have in a box in the basement I listen to it "so much". This new one will end up in that same box underneath some books from my childhood I don't want to part with and some VHS tapes I keep for the day I buy a VHS player again. After awhile I just give a band so many chances before I lose enthusiasm.
