Oh Darlin' vs It's Gettin' Late

[MikestheGreatest!!]

It's Getting Late was not much of a tune.  One of those songs that sounds good initially, but upon more repetitions, is simply monotonous.  Carl doing his funked up "I'm a soul daddy thing", er, no you are not!  Oh Darlin' was not much either.  Hated the "God only knows how I love you" part, I just hate it when they use self-referential lyrics like that and referencing a much better tune at that is not so smart and really just highlighted how much the current material sucked in comparison to oh, say, Pet Sounds....or even Carl and the Passions!

Everyone I have ever played that particular two-fer for has hated it.   I as a fan am more forgiving in general, but 85 and KTSA are definitely for fanatics only, IMHO.  You had to have had a history with them to appreciate the rot that had set in by then....
