Title: Nesmith goes too far
Review: Carrying on from the mostly instrumental albums of "The Prison" & "The Garden", we get "Rays".Which is nowhere as strong as these albums, with Nez laying on the Synths, giving a slight Queen from the 80's feel (which nobody wants to hear).He also creates a horn section using the synths, which just sounds cheap & tacky.With "Prison" & "Garden" you hear richly textured & ambitious soundscapes, but "Rays" is to low-fi (which I don't have a problem with), it just doesn't work with such a complete piece of work.This is the only weak Nesmith album, so I suggest you purchase the rest of his back catalogue before arriving at this (low) point.
