What Are You Listening To?

[Music Head]

from my library (vinyl)



Sixth album from the Mael brothers. I have the previous five and consider this step down from
those. Still a good album, just not up to those. Amazing these guys have lasted as long as they
have, considering the lack of chart success. They had disbanded their band for this where they
used session musicians. A jump to a new label for the album. Those two major changes may
explain my displeasure. Described as a harder rock sound than their previous efforts, even Ron
and Russell downplayed the album, much later of course. Big Boy and I Like Girls were released
as singles with no success. The album failed to chart in either the US or UK.
