Sometimes the difference between critic and listener reviews for music is wild. I’m trying to listen to A Grand Don’t Come for Free from the 1001 Albums project. It apparently has a 91/100 on Metacritic, but a slew of 1-star listener ratings. I’m definitely leaning towards the 1-star crowd.
@gregorlove.com I remember this album. His first record, Original Pirate Material, went gangbusters in the UK and sort of kind of broke into the US with “Let’s Push Things Forward.” Suppose the follow-up effort didn’t do it for a lot of folks.
