Title: Revisiting "Late Again"
Review: I recently listened to my cd of this after several years. With the perspective of hindsight, it seems like they are groping for a way to stay relevant as musical tastes change. 40 years later, the sound is simply disappointing. I remember getting the greatest hits album in high school and wondering why "Too Much of Nothing" was on it. It seemed so out of place. Now I understand.It is interesting to hear their version of "Reason to Believe" - a great piece of material. The two Paul Stookey tunes - "Hymn" and "Love City" are the best thing on the record. They sound true. While his solo version of Hymn on a later album was a little better, there is an introspection about this version that can't be matched.Thank goodness for "Album 1700". That brought them back around to their classic sound. And, although it is clearly a minority opinion, I really enjoyed "Reunion", certainly much more than "Late Again"
Is the review positive or negative?
