"Flowers is the Bunnymen’s latter-day Heaven Up Here, an underrated gem with attitude and verve to spare that demonstrates just how Velvets-like the McCulloch/Sergeant pairing could remain more than two decades after forming. “An Eternity Turns” is a speedy little sports car of a song that underscores the surplus of creative fuel these two had in the tank at that point."

Really? I mean really ??? :eek:

Apparently an Eternity Turns is a Little Red Corvette
With the Force as his ally he did battle with the Dark Lord. And he showed the measure of a true Jedi at a place called "The Death Star" where hope for the Galaxy was reborn. May all who struggle against tyranny hold his memory in their hearts

The strings in that song make me think I'm in an elevator or a dentist's office- circa 1974.

The opening two chords and the strings make me vomit. The chorus is good. I just can't get past the intro.

I also severely dislike Seven Seas. Those are the two songs that I have never liked.

I think Seven Seas is better live. The guitars aren't so delicate.

Like the nods to Monkeys and All I Want, my favorite tracks on their respective albums.

An Eternity Turns was probably one of the few standish tracks off Flowers, but nowhere near the top five underrated songs. Maybe 121st.

I like Seven Seas and Silver. Can't stand Never Stop. White man's dance music. Rick Astley with guitars.

I have it on good authority that every single Bunnymen track was created by white men.
