434.0. "World Party?" by DPDMAI::VETEIKIS () Tue Jun 01 1993 16:29

    Anyone out there picked up the new World Party CD? I really liked their
    last one and I am thinking about picking up this one also. Even a
    simple yes or no vote would be appreciated.
    
    Thanks.

434.1Buy BangESSB::WWALSHMon Jun 28 1993 18:1310
    Simple vote = YES
    
    Title is Bang. Personnally I didn't find it as catchy initially as
    their last album but it is still well worth a buy. There are some very 
    good songs and musically it varies from Operatic "And God said ....." to 
    the Beach Boys. On the CD version the last song (12) contains 20 minutes 
    of silence and finishes up with an ode to Desert Storm (very appropriate 
    again) in Beach Boy fashion.

Seriously?  Is it sarcasm, or for real?

434.3good, but coulda been betterDPDMAI::VETEIKISThu Jul 01 1993 02:0811
    I picked it up. Its a good CD, but I agree with you, the last one was
    better. I noticed some interesting derivatives here. Mind you, not such
    a blatant copy that it was annoying but you can definitely here
    influence of the beatles, sly stone, even something that sounded like
    U2.
    
    By the way, my vote for stealing from the classics goes to Lenny
    Kravitz. This guy steals from everyone. Hmmm, a good topic for a base
    note...
