Title: Light Album - Alternative take . . . Post by: BubbaFide on April 24, 2018, 01:14:45 PM I like the Light Album, but it suffers from a mishmash of musical styles. I found this alternative light album on youtube. Just brilliant IMO -

I usually put "It's a Beautiful Day" to replace it (even though I realise it was recorded shortly after the album's release). Sumahama might even work better, if just for being an original dud as opposed to a Brian's Back being an uninspired dud ;D Title: Re: Light Album - Alternative take . . .

I mediocre song made better by Carl ;D

Shortenin Bread, maybe it's okay if you're on a hallucinogen, but ugh. It would have been better if CBS had rejected the album and forced them to make more of an effort.

Post by: HeyJude on May 02, 2018, 10:18:38 AM I like Full Sail, but it doesn't fit in the album, sounds more like a song from the Holland album In terms of production and arrangement, "Full Sail" is VERY 1978/79. Very much the soft rock/yacht rock sound of that era. Title: Re: Light Album - Alternative take . . . Post by: RONDEMON on May 04, 2018, 08:42:50 PM How did Constant Companion not see the light of day as an official release?!? Right? I don't love the lyrics, but the groove and the song/melody are killer. I think Dennis could've had a great solo career if things were different around that time.

1. "Lady Lynda" 2. "California Feelin'" 3. "Shortenin' Bread" 4. "It's A Beautiful Day" Cool mini-album. Title: Re: Light Album - Alternative take . . . Post by: nach0king on May 09, 2018, 06:23:28 PM I like Full Sail, but it doesn't fit in the album, sounds more like a song from the Holland album I feel exactly the same way, very underrated song that struggles from sitting on a poor album alongside songs that sound jarring against it. |
