I realized I haven't mentioned Terminal Jive too much. It's a pretty fantastic album. The first song kicks the album off pretty damn well.

Terminal Jive is very much a conundrum with me. It has a great name, great album pics and some really good songs "Rock n Roll People in a Disco World" "Stereo" and "the Greatest Show on Earth" But on the other hand, the songs sound flat and repititious PIL style (that works with PIL but not so much with Sparks) There is also a disco/new wave feel to the album which feels odd at times.

I can definitely understand that. Personally, I find it to be one of the easiest albums to stomach with Sparks even if the Sparks brothers weren't happy with the album. Something to do with how pissed off they got with the manager or whoever was in charge of putting the album together.

Still, it makes a pretty good listen.

I love the trio of albums that followed it Whomp That Sucker, Angst in My Pants and In Outer Space. The first two, what great names.

No matter what, Sparks have always had a good way to entertain and bring a smile to people's faces.
