[kj] [kHz] (no subject) Hypothetical question

[Peter Moltesen]

I dug Hosannas out for the first time in a while a couple of weeks ago.

Still don't rate it very highly - a handful of half decent songs shine
through the muddy production, 

And they would have been more than half decent if they'd been half the
length they were. 

 

I never could stand the glossy BTATS production, although the remaster is a
big improvement !!

Some decent songs on it, mind 

 

I've always loved Democracy especially the layers and layers and layers of
Geordies guitars

Hosannas may not have lived up to expectation, but it is still very
listenworthy.. 

just tweak the EQ a bit and away ya go..

there is classic KJ in that thar album, its just let down in a few places
(insert yr own pet peeve here), but on the whole, should not be written off,
and not be put away and not played!

Im with Alex on this one, Hosannas is a terrible album, with only one good
song on it and dire production. And Ive got to say, I dont think Absolute
Dissent is a whole lot better.

 

BTATS is one of my all time favorite albums.

HOSANNAS is a brilliant album!
Geordie on top form and the last one to feature the great Raven.
 
Only one album worse than OTG and that is Democracy , so very dull in
compariosn to the rest

(and that includes Courtauld Talks as well). OTG may be HEROICALLY flawed,
but at least there were some fleshed-out ideas on it (however misdirected).

OTG). And Alex I think someone put a roofy in your coffee. There is no way
in this or any other universe that OTG is better than Hosannas. As
disappointed as I am with Hossannas it at least has some of the best Geordie
riffs ever.

OTG, meanwhile, remains as bad as you remember it (but it's still better
than HOSANNAS).
