TIME CHANGES

The kitschy cheap Off -Broadway-sounding follow up to the Boston band's ambitious debut from the year before, Trilogy for the Masses. I'd say this one is for completionists only as the kitsch and schlock are just too overwhelmingly nauseating; one would have to be either quite the masochist or quite the Off-Broadway completionist to want to suffer through the full album listening experience. Perhaps it's all intended to be in fun--as sarcasm or a parody--as the humorous group photo on the album cover might suggest--but regardless, the music and its performances are so poor and inconsistently produced that it actually hurts. I want this hour back from my life!
