"Bland"?? I suppose if you've been spending time in the land of 20,000 girls it might be so, but... no, I'm just not getting it. "North Star", to me, is the highlight of the entire album. |
It doesn't do a lot for me sadly. There's so much tension in the rest of "Platinum" that I feel that the North Star bit is a bit passive. The disco drumming at the end doesn't help. But I enjoy the choir of and the acoustic guitar solo. It's not like I hate it.
I also feel the same about the second halves of "Taurus II" and "Crises". Same thing with the "jam"-section of TB part 2 that Mike used to do in concert.
