So in case you have not noticed for the foreseeable future I am vacillating back and forth between old and new albums as I build up a large database of reviews.
I have decided to let the PC pick an album at random for me now for the older reviews. Interestingly enough the computer picked Mostly Autumn’s first album after the departure of Heather Findlay for its first pick.
This album gets wonderful reviews from other websites but only the fans of a band are apt to giver reviews on a lot of sites. I have to say for me, I don’t hear anything too memorable on the first half of this album. Certainly not the new singer Olivia’s fault. I have read that Olivia Sparnenn had some composer credits on the last two songs and I think the album does pick up some steam there for the last three songs so maybe that is a good sign for this albums predecessors
Album Highlights: Back To Life,Hold the Sun,And When the War is Over..
