| “ | Many fine songs here, "Love To See You" being one of the best. A simple but beautiful love (or lust) song written by Suzzy, it's a great ode to unrequited love (or lust). Then again, for all I know, it could be about a puppy. For some reason it's stuck in the dreaded next-to-last-song slot on the CD, usually a place for throwaways. (There's also a great video of "Love To See You" from the mid-80's Robert Klein cable show that you can find at the Roches web site) "Face Down At Folk City" (written by all three) is of course classic Roches: funny lyrics and great vocals, plus a dreamy Fmaj7th piano hook that follows the chorus. The opener "Love Radiates Around" (a non-Roche composition) sounds almost like a hymn. Very pretty, and aurally the best thing on Another World. Reminds me of "Hymn To Her" (which came later) by the Pretenders, but this one was written by a man-guy. "Another World" is a solid tune - in their tradition of complaints about the modern (usually female) world - but suffers from the "modern" 80's production, which shows up in varying degrees throughout the album. Here, I am in partial agreement with the negative reviewers. The generic rock guitars and drum machines sound like they are bleeding over from another studio and were accidentally mixed into a Roches recording. As for the other tracks, "Come Softly To Me" - one of their reworkings of a classic/traditional song, this time The Fleetwoods' 1959 chart topper - is a highlight. The remaining songs are not bad - I particularly like "Weeded Out" - but the aforementioned (over-) production tends to stomp them out before they can be "heard." | ” |
