This Was/Stand Up/Benefit/Aqualung/Thick as a Brick/Living in the Past was a great run of album releases. Seriously diminishing returns throughout the rest of the 70's, and then it all fell apart at the end of that decade - yet they (he?) keep on keeping on anyways, because what can a poor boy do except to sing in a rock 'n' roll band? Agreed. And I saw every one of their tours through Passion Play. I more recently picked up all of the Steven Wilson reissue long boxes, and am expecting delivery on this one soon. Not sure how much different it is from the earlier more traditional multi-disk set that he did, but if tradition holds the booklet will be amazing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EKE BBB Posted November 12, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2021 Listening to Susanna Hoffs' new album for the first time. Exclusively composed of covers (of, among others, Badfinger, Nick Drake, the Monkees, Paul Revere, Velvet Underground, Prince and Syd Barrett). Yet another album of covers from Susanna Hoffs? Well, yes, it doesn't matter, it's Susanna! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I’m not sure, but Susanna Hoffs has really good taste selecting and interpreting covers, her voice is still engaging and the arrangements are mostly good, even with those (probably too many) string passages.

felser Posted November 13, 2021 Report Share Posted November 13, 2021 Have been a big fan for over 50 years. Not as strong as their Epic classics (missing the magic of the California-Ferguson interaction), but still plenty of treasures ("Spirit of 76" is a marvelous double album, utterly unique). And 10 hours of music for under $45. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EKE BBB Posted November 17, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2021 I was a big fan of the Bangles and was a bit disappointed when this first Susanna Hoffs disc was out. It has not aged too well, from my point of view. I very much prefer her (regretfully very scarce) releases from the last two decades.
