[kj] Night Time

[ade]

Fair comment & they were accused af that at the time. Nevertheless, I think
it's grand!

  But for me what makes it inferior to their previous albums is that they
watered themselves down in order to appeal to a wider audience. Compared to
the first three it is very, very commercial sounding. It's a bit on the
samey/bland side (similar keyboard style in many songs, similar drums,
boring bass) The lyrics fluctuate between the ineffective ("Night-time,
turning out the sun" - sounds like a nursery rhyme) and the overblown and
grandiose ( e.g. 'Europe'). Not saying it's bad, just flawed. Their best
album? Sorry, na-uh.

    Nowt wrong with commercial – so long as it's GOOD.  I'm no snob.  Night
Time's packed with belting tunes, even if it sounds dated/80s/commercial.
The guitar riff on DBD is one of the best ever.  And Eighties, too.
