Old Sparky

Not up to the standard of the DM production.

After SOTU, an album worthy of the band, less fluff and more concrete songs. I still don't appreciate Hiller's production.

I met them with their first album; I was young but I couldn’t stop playing it on the turntable. I liked them (and I still do today), and with the subsequent albums, I spent musical afternoons and had discussions with ‘cultured’ friends who hated them from the start. Then came the post-Arena period (the fake live) and a couple of albums I didn't like... I reassessed them in 1993 with this album, then they got lost, rehabilitated, lost again, and reactivated; they still stay true to the project, perhaps too.
