Postcard From Waterloo

Don't bother listening to the rest for years now. I think of it is an EP. "Present Arrived" has to be one of the most inaccurate song titles ever. More like "Turd Through Your Letterbox". And "Days on the Mountain" is astonishingly rubbish.

While I'm in the mood to talk about things I dislike: have listened to "Cover" once all the way through in 1999 and despised it quite intensely. Have to give it another chance. Think it was the synths. 

Listen to "Televison" all the time right now. One of the best first sides of an album ever for me. Think "Dreamtime" is criminally overlooked by critics etc. One of the best guitar records ever, especially for the way parts interlock and unfold within and without each other.
