UNDER WRAPS

Excuse me, but while I can accept that different people have various opinions about anything, there are some simple facts that are necessary to admit. Admiring very much the career of JT from "This Was" to "Stormwatch", I really wonder how can anyone give this extremely bad album a five star rating?! I bought it immediately upon its release back in 1984 and suffered badly during the repeated attempt to listen through it. I remeber I played it only two times ever, before deciding to get rid of it ASAP. Luckily a friend was a completist die-hard JT fan who did not mind the horrible synthetic sound, rythm machines, stupid lyrics and pointless songs by the old weary I. Anderson who made the typical mid- 1980s "prog mistake" - trying to sound "modern" in the new romantic era, without offering any substantively new ideas. Absolutely negligable! Avoid at all cost!!!
