Negative Positive
Title: Soaring rock vocals
Review: I first fell in love with Icehouse' music when I heard No Promises on the radio back in '85 or '86. I found the Measure for Measure album and then got to listen to earlier albums that were more alternative and less radio-friendly. But Man of Colors was a tour de force. It was what I wanted from Icehouse. First came the soaring love ballad, Crazy, then the follow-up Electric Blue, with its snazzy riffs, and finally I got the whole album on tape from an acquaintance in Australia. It was magic. Other songs I enjoy are Girl on the Moon and the epic story-song, Sunset and the Heartbreak Kid, which for me was a kind of sequel to the Eagles' New Kid in Town.This disc is kind of pricey but it's hard to find. I appreciate that they've got extras like extended versions of some songs, but I've heard most of these on other Icehouse albums.
Is the review positive or negative?
