A gift from CH and you hate to let a brother down, but we gotta part ways on this one. I think he gave this a 2.4 in his Beginners Guide post, loving 7 tracks, but I'm far from that. Only thing I loved here was the leadoff, I Got You, which was a #1 single in the land down under, not faring as well here at #53. This was the New Zealanders fifth album and their most successful on the charts, making #1 in the homeland and Australia with a #40 in the states. My copy of this vinyl release as described by wiki, features some [SIZE=2]wild, imaginative shapes and patterns covering the vinyl using a technique known as "laser-etching". When light hits the record, these designs would protrude and spin about the room. The album was the first to ever use this technique, originally designed to discourage the creation of counterfeit copies. All greek to me. I just play the damn thing. A collectors thing I guess.

I LIKE THIS ALBUM
Worst Track - The Choral Sea
Best Track - I Got You
I got you - that's all I want
I won't forget - that's a whole lot
I don't
go out - now that you're in
Sometimes we shout - but that's no
problem
I don't know why sometimes I get frightened
You can see my
eyes, you can tell that I'm not lyin'
Look at you - you're a
pageant
You're everything - that I've imagined
Something's wrong - I feel
uneasy
You show me - tell me you're not teasin'
I don't know why
sometimes I get frightened
You can see my eyes, you can tell that I'm not
lyin'
There's no doubt - not when I'm with you
When I'm without - I
stay in my room
Where do you go - I get no answer
You're always out - it
gets on my nerves
I don't know why sometimes I get frightened
You can
see my eyes you can tell that I'm not lying
I don't know why sometimes I get
frightened
You can see my eyes, you can tell that I'm not lyin'
I don't
know why sometimes I get frightened
You can see my eyes, you can tell that
I'm not lying
