ALBUM: Home in the Heart of the Beat (1986)
MVC Rating: 3.0/$$
Well, I don’t even know what genre this is. Easy listening power pop with fresh commercial country thrown in?
It’s on IRS records with Scott Litt (REM) producing. I had some high hopes going into revisiting this 1980’s album.
It’s not bad, it’s just kind of, well, (whisper) boring.
Probably not a good thing to say about a rock band.
I think ‘It Could Happen here’ and ‘Song for an Angry Young Man’ are solid and nearly excellent songs. But there’s a lot of filler here.
I actually enjoyed this video more than the album.
Counting my 678 vinyl records down before I die of brain disease.
