The album is so deep it takes about a hundred plays for the human mind to appreciate it's depth and greatness, and some people will never see the light. This album divides people strongly. A bit like Marmite, you either love it or hate it. You have a right to express your opinion. Unlike on the BOF.
Back in the day, I was so desperate for it to come out, especially to stick one up Mac.
I love it, I play it in its entirety more than any other Bunnymen album.
But..........at the end of the day, its not the same. I agree a name change may have helped, but lets not forget some of the Reverberation, and "b" sides are great songs.
Noels problem was that he couldnt cut it live, not like Mac. He was an OK singer in a great band.
The bottom line is Mac needs Will, Les needs wood, Pete needs peace, Will needs Mac.
Reverberation is miles better than the Fountrain, which does get better the more you hear it, but then again so does Robbie Wiiliams new album, which belongs to the missus.
Also, please note. I am pished. I never really post without a drink, so please excuse any nonsense!!
Also, I was at the "Euphoric" night. It was one of the best nights ever. Anyone else there?
We slept in the car that night, well from 4am or whenever it finished.
