Except "Let the Records Play" isn't particularly loud or cathartic, it's a plodding middle-of-the-road blues lite. With an incredibly irritating chorus. |

With an incredibly irritating chorus. one of the most annoying choruses in their catalog, actually It would actually be pretty vastly improved by being really loud. I mean, the fact that it is really hard to appreciate in the first place is worse because the guitars are so low in the mix. It should sound like T. Rex but it sounds like Jools Holland's boogie-woogie orchestra instead. |
