So in a way it's a Guitars 2 album? |
Plus: Toto, Steve Miller Band, Tom Petty, Meat Loaf (http://www.theguardian.com/music....-review) |
Plus Fleetwood Mac too, I read it somewhere.
Also, wanted to add that the rest of the album makes me like Sailing better. Kind of weird, shows that the album is not just a group on of unrelated music, I guess. |
Plus Led Zeppelin, King Crimson and ZZ Top, from Amazon reviews.
With Millennium Bell, I think Mike tried to capture many styles of music through different periods. Here it seems he succeeded capturing rock, in the ears of some people. When you think about the same man can write an album reviewed as sounding like nothing ever before an this one reviewed as sounding like literally dozens of other artists. |
Plus Chris de Burgh, Cliff Richard collaborating with Westlife, Scorpions (from http://www.heraldscotland.com/arts-en....199397)
Personal lyrics. Not personal music? I like the opposite better, universal lyrics you can refer too or ignore, and unique music. I don't really rare to listen to somebody lamenting about his life, abstracting the introspection into music work much better for me.
