Title: "..what we'd hoped for from this band."
Review: Jimbo nearly made himself into a real poet on this one. None of that silly Oedipal stuff from the debut album & none of the bullcrap love songs with horns that sunk later LPs. The two "Strange" songs are what we'd hoped for from this band. "My Eyes Have Seen You," "Moonlight Mile" & "You're Lost Little Girl" are first rate album cuts. "When the Music's Over" is more interesting lyrically & musically than "The End," based so it seems on a riff from "Soul Kitchen." The slackers who think Morrison was an 80 proof literary genius can keep "Horse Latitudes." I prefer "Strange Days" as a rock & roll album, more or less. Fun cover pic, too.Bob Rixon, WFMU-FM
