I love the oddball story behind this. Writing an urban concept album based around losing £1k [SPOILER] down the back of a telly, shows that we have moved on from the days of 70’s prog.
This was so fresh when it was first released. There wasn’t anything like it around at the time. It does sound a little dated now, but only with the song references, and not the style. C-Mone steals the show.
I rinsed this to death back in the day. I wouldn’t have hesitated then in giving it five stars. I paused a little this morning. But yep - it still stacks up.
So ambitious, so cocky, so bloody young.
