![]() Our Time in Eden I found to be almost completely bland and lifeless. ![]() By the time of Blind Man's Zoo, they had somehow entered the realm of Adult Contemporary - fairly decent, though, if a little less memorable. "Don't Talk" is the track to which I keep coming back. ![]() (I like its version of "Daktari" better than the Hope Chest version, though.) In My Tribe has some minor annoyances, like preachiness ("What's the Matter Here?") or beat generation name-dropping ("Hey Jack Kerouac") for example, but the music is outstanding, if a little more reserved than before. The Wishing Chair is good, but re-recording "Tension" and "My Mother the War" was completely unnecessary. Too bad Buck didn't do any more strange guitar stuff and later stuck to the lemme-play-the-hell-out-of-this-one-chord style. Some of those weird guitar sounds are still refreshing ("Planned Obsolescence", "My Mother the War"), and good lord, it has some of the happiest-sounding yet lyrically-depressing songs I can think of ("Orange" being a totally boppy pop song about AGENT ORANGE).
