I was afraid to read the review, even though I like the album; I thought someone would pan it for not being village green. And this album is available for download in the US on emusic (.com). 647151@blogcritics.org Thu, 1 Nov 2007 14:06:19 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2007/10/27/233525.php#comment-646657 Oh, man, you're right! How could I forget "One More Time"! That's one of the tracks that took me a little longer to "get" -- at first it seemed a little, I don't know, too lush and symphonic for my tastes. But then I pictured it set on a seaside cliff in Ireland, and then the lushness all made sense. It's one of those classic Ray Davies break-up songs that sounds at first like something else -- like "Days" or "Better Things," so wistful and tender that you almost overlook the fact that they're parting ways. And am I the only one who thinks this song is also reaching out to his brother Dave? 646657@blogcritics.org Tue, 30 Oct 2007 21:34:06 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2007/10/27/233525.php#comment-646522 Loved your review, but did you miss "One More Time"? That's my favorite track on this truly outstanding collection of songs. 646522@blogcritics.org Tue, 30 Oct 2007 14:55:47 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2007/10/27/233525.php#comment-645896 GREAT review, Holly! As a fellow shaker, I appreciate your insight into the artist usually known as RAY DAVIES. WMC offers fans and misfits everywhere another opportunity to know we are not alone. On our behalf, this imaginary man has carried that chip a very long time, not as a dead weight but as a diamond in the rough. He's offering it to us once again. It is up to us what we make of it. 645896@blogcritics.org Sun, 28 Oct 2007 18:01:16 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2007/10/27/233525.php#comment-645880 Great review. Spot on...I have been reading some of your other reviews too, Holly. Really good recommendations.. Cheers, Laurie 645880@blogcritics.org Sun, 28 Oct 2007 16:26:35 EDT
