With "10 Story love Song" still playing in my mind years after the tape expired, to me there was at least a bit if all too short magic in there.

As for The Seahorses...sorry. Tons of potential sadly led up to a half-powered album with maybe a good moment or two in my opinion if I'm on a good day.

Enough of the crapping on. It's time to remember why they are remembered - a crowning album of 1989, the moment when things had to change quick. No better album did that than the S/T classic.
i agree to most of this except I haven't heard the Shirehorses and don't intend to
