great that they're adding in the 70s Sups albums. I realize they don't have anything to do with Diana except it's the group she left. but appreciate the info
Overall a pretty accurate review. Of course opinions can differ. I think the lp is a bit stronger than their score. It's a heavily produced set - there's a LOT going on in almost every song. But I think it's a very strong set that really gives the girls a chance to shine as a group.
Together, Stone and Time - I agree with their assessments that these are amazing tracks. All 3
Bridge - this one almost boarders on over production, IMO. But the girls sing beautifully and great hearing Cindy
Mirror - I think this is, while not the most impressive song on the album, still a good showing. But I pretty much agree with their assessment
Come Together - here I disagree with them. I like the highly unusual approach and think it's what helps set it apart. yes Diana does a typical "soul" version on Everything. Therefore I like the girls going for it and throwing caution to the wind. As for jean's singing being difficult to understand, the lyrics to this song already as weird as F lol. so it's not like there's ever a clear story with it anyway
Is There - nice smooth ballad
Na Na - this is my 1 major fault with the album. from a style and content perspective, this track just doesn't fit, IMO. Just seems like a random track added. If we had to have a cover, I think Mind Body and Soul would, at least thematically, fit with the lp. Life Beats would have been another good choice [[but that's not a Frank Wilson production). to me, the album was going through a beautiful series of intelligent, artistic songs often with the theme of love and humanity at their core. and then this. The girls sing fine on it. I just think it would have worked better on Right On than here
Shine - agree it's not as strong as Stoned but I like a lot and the vocals are strong. I think it's stronger than their assessment
Thank Him - love this track and an excellent closer. I think they should have added this to their shows when they did their O Happy Day/revival ending.
all in all, a fun and interesting review. I think i'd rate the lp a bit stronger
