This is a more logical pairing than the Big Ship/ The Tall Ships poll. Both of these are the last songs on the band's respective 1988 albums, both song titles are referenced in the titles of the albums, and musically I think they pair better despite the It Bites one being much longer. ------------- "Questions are a burden to others; answers a prison for oneself" (The Prisoner, 1967). |

I hadn't heard this It Bites track before and it took me by some surprise. It is so very different from the other one I posted. The other one reminds me of American Christian rock (despite being British), whereas this is a different beast. I like it. And it even has some of that crazy carnival atmosphere of Cardiacs and punkish atmosphere. ------------- "Questions are a burden to others; answers a prison for oneself" (The Prisoner, 1967). |

The vocalist of It Bites remeinds me about Chris Squire, singing wise, sound slightly remeniscent of Fish out of Water, It Bites got a bite in their sound that I really like. -------------

I think they were more consistent with Mitchell, and less poppy, I guess, but when at their very best with Dunnery..I don't think the Mitchell albums ever equaled that. ------------- Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy! |

Should is a hard question. It depends on you. If it were me, I wouldn’t even ask but auto-listen to the YouTube clip and decide for myself (don’t know if that is available in your region). If you mean because you like It Bites, then I would say no. You might enjoy it, but I wouldn’t say you should. If you are interested in checking out Cardiacs and don’t mind checking out streaming music and prefer to listen to full albums: https://alphabet-business-concern.bandcamp.com" rel="nofollow - https://alphabet-business-concern.bandcamp.com I might recommend Songs for Ships and Irons. Generally I think Cardiacs significant enough that I might think that most pretty hardcore forum users and diverse listeners here “should” check the band out if they care enough about being acquainted with a wide range of music included in PA. I like to be acquainted with a very wide range of music whether I enjoy it or not, partially so I can join in on diverse music discussions with other forum users. And if one wanted to vote in the poll, then yes, one should listen to both before voting. ------------- "Questions are a burden to others; answers a prison for oneself" (The Prisoner, 1967). |
