Thoughts

There are only two good things about this album - one is that general sixties vibe, I do love that sound. The other is that it was a lot of fun researching the background to this: the TV show, the controversy of the band not playing their own instruments, them trying to wrestle back control and then not doing very well after that. This album though? Not good, even the singing is lacking and that’s the one thing they’re trusted to do!

Rating: 2 / 5
