Plus at the time, this was soooo much harder to find that it seemed like a rare treasure.Toddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17285722988819172501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4054426546125911403.post-68662252598604560952012-05-03T10:37:39.859-05:002012-05-03T10:37:39.859-05:00I think Shriner is kinda grumpy.I have the origina...I think Shriner is kinda grumpy.I have the original vinyl and the Wounded Bird CD reissue.I also got to see Bonnie Hayes live.The album stands the test of time.I also like the initial releases by the Go Gos and the Bangles.Good stuff!Doughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03259777033023966731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4054426546125911403.post-28638974682646809562012-05-02T17:48:59.354-05:002012-05-02T17:48:59.354-05:00I think it's close to the same level as the Go...I think it's close to the same level as the Go Gos and the Bangles because the songs are consistently catchy. This one was a college radio favorite back in the day, and I'm glad to have it digitally at last.Another Rolfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06754915542620338151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4054426546125911403.post-8826727436779272832012-05-02T08:22:42.978-05:002012-05-02T08:22:42.978-05:00"even better than Beauty and the Beat or All ..."even better than Beauty and the Beat or All Over the Place"...<br /><br />If you are going to lump something in with those two albums, it has to be that good. <br /><br />This is not. Not even close. Somebody at AMG must have been in an exceptionally good mood when they wrote that review. Or owed somebody a favor.<br /><br />I have to say, I was disappointed in this one -- the monotone verses in the songs was probably what sank this for me -- so much so that the "catchy choruses" didn't rescue it.<br /><br />(But thanks for the share -- it answered a question I've had about this album for a while...)<br /><br /><br />I'm wondering if I'm just in a grumpy mood, but, *man*, this is nowhere near the debuts of the Go-Gos or Bangles (even the EP)Shrinerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12908213967283171538noreply@blogger.com
