A brief and very nice review, I think it has said almost everything about this album, certainly not Alice's best but not the worst either (I’m referring in particular to Brutal Planet and the 80-82 era). Let's say it's decent but can be enjoyed from time to time with pleasure!

infected, why does sadness come upon you? I too saw the purple two years ago and I must say it hit the skins non-stop the whole time, even indulging in a (short compared to what we are used to) solo!

It's a disk but not Cooper's best; my favorite is that little magic of Blue Turk!

my favorite by Alice!

...and the bass?

But are we sure this album is something new?

I think the ideal approach could be Arthur or the Decline and Fall of British Society, or Kinks are the Village Green Preservation Society! In a few days, I'll send a review on Everybody's in Showbiz!

Oh my, what a confusing comment!

I don't vote for the collection because, while I know all the songs you mentioned, I don't feel comfortable judging a mix of songs that find their natural habitat in their original album, but I don't know how well they blend together in a (mostly) random sequence. Just this morning, I was listening to the excellent Face to Face, by the way. I also really appreciate Arthur from the band, perhaps even my favorite album, and Everybody's in Showbiz, for which just a week ago, I wrote a review that a nice formatting decided to delete! Later, the Kinks changed their way of making music, but of the few post-'72 works I've listened to, I feel I can at least recommend giving a listen to Sleepwalker (the album, but the title track can serve as a good opener, which, accompanied by a wonderful video, was one of the biggest hits of our guys' entire career!

really convincing album!!
