^ Welcome to MB, Gypsy Flower

To be honest, in his abrupt way Zhanteimi makes a point. Anyone who clicks on an "album review" link is probably expecting more than just a one word comment per song.

I don't know Deliver but I see it's got some of the classic M&P songs, including my favourite, Creeque Alley. What they do with Twist and Shout is impressive too. I love how they slow it down so much that they bring a hint of parody to the lyrics, telling us to "shake it up baby now, work it on out" - but in slow motion!



I also dipped into a track I'd never heard before, John's Music Box, but I can't really agree with your opinion, Gypsy Flower. For me it was too much like a music box - inconsequential and mildly irritating - but then it's an instrumental track and so hardly plays to M&P's strengths as a group, their exquisite vocal harmonies.
