I think that half of Home is exceptionally great and the other half could have never existed and I wouldn't mind.
Souvenirs defines perfection, all songs are music at its best.
That's a bit harsh perhaps but yeah... I'll agree. Although I admit that I am still struggling with "We just stopped breathing" and "Monsters" from Souvenirs. I like the multitude of layers and yet still clear (and sometimes fragile) sound of Souvenirs. Plus that there are at least 7 fabulous tracks on it. I just keep returning to it and getting all a-tingle with the guitar solo of "Broken Glass", the switch to the bridge of "Souvenirs", the dual vocals and oddness of "A life all mine" and so much more.... *swoon*
Home is a mixed bag for my ears. There are some excellent songs on it. No doubt about it. But there are some songs that just don't seem to work for me. And even after giving them another go, and another still make me reach for the skip button. Too bad. But it does make Home, as a whole, a bit of a let down for me.
But TG has a new album out... And I keep playing it. Over. And over. And over.....
