Ty is final...Definitely you're not getting old. Ty is finally delivering consistently on 2 records in a row which -as you said- look like the two sides of a coin, just like The Man Who Sold The World and Hunky Dory were. In any case, Ty doesn't sound derivative at all. He's able to bring in a Sgt Pepper taste to the mix in the great opener but -as pointed here- pay homage to Forever Changes as well, in a nearly sci-fi outcome (neither Bowie or Marc Bolan did that). To make this dish even more tasty, Ty mananages to recreate effectively the bluesy innocence of Who circa 69-71 in a couple of (other) strong songs here. A real winner, thanks!Claudiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01254410293764119343noreply@blogger.com
