What Are You Listening To?

[Music Head]

from my library (vinyl)



Another I'm having trouble getting into. Is it me? I thought I at least liked this. Not so. I do love the cover, from the painting by a French artist. As far as the contents, eight tracks, and only three of them I even liked, and two of those were a stretch. This is the second album for the ex-Joy Division members after the death of Ian. This is where new wave decides they want to be on the club floor. The electronic seems to just take over. Obviously, there are followers. Not surprising that my favorite here, Age Of Consent, is the track with only a brief synthesizer role. Don't see where this charted here, which is kind of surprising to me. They album went to #4 in the U.K.. Those song lyrics are funny. Instead of saying "I've lost you (x5)", three times, why doesn't it just say "I've lost you (x15)", only once. I'm just sayin'...................

I DO NOT LIKE THIS ALBUM

Worst Track - Ectasy

Best Track - Age Of Consent

Won't you please let me go
These words lie inside they hurt me so
And I'm not the kind that likes to tell you
Just what I want to do
I'm not the kind that needs to tell you
Just what you want me to

I saw you this morning
I thought that you might like to know
I received your message in full a few days ago
I understood every word that it said
And now that I've actually heard it
You're going to regret

And I'm not the kind that likes to tell you
Just what you want me to
You're not the kind that needs to tell me
About the birds and the bees

Do you find this happens all the time
Crucial point one day becomes a crime
And I'm not the kind that likes to tell you
Just what I want to do
I'm not the kind that needs to tell you

I've lost you (x5)
I've lost you (x5)
I've lost you (x5)
