So what can I say about this, then? It's not exactly my favorite album, simply because this is not my favorite kind of music. Modest Attraction play 70's inspired hard rock. Very keyboard-loaded, and I do believe they do it well. It's just that there aren't all too many great songs here. It tends to get a bit dull after a while. I can't seem to get myself to play the whole record in one go. I hang on to it anyway, 'cause sometimes i just pop it in, and listen to a song or five. It's actually quite rare these days, and the value were raised when members popped up in Narnia and Wisdom Call, amongst others. The song "Time" also appear on Wisdom Call's album!
