Title: An All-Time Favorite
Review: I bought the album when it was first reviewed in Rolling Stone back in the late 80's. Thank you RS, for delivering this music to my ears. Boomtown has remained on my All-Time Favorites List ever since. I have a "thing" for songs about the dark side of life(Steely Dan being another group I put in this catagory) and Boomtown brings it in spades. "Swallowed By The Cracks" tells of 3 friends who have great dreams of their future("I would coreograph, Eileen she would act, while Steve was a writer") only to be "swallowed by the cracks". The refrain is great to sing along to. Everything about this album is at top form; the singing, lyrics and instrumentation. Buy it, borrow it or rip it, just DO IT!
