Hello Bell X1,
As a long time fan, I just have to get this out of my system. Blue Lights On The Runway was a very average album. I don't know what it was but it just felt empty and dense. Alright you had 3 good songs on it. They were the first 3 opening tracks. After that it just goes to the dogs. Blow Ins is like a song that never gets going. Amelia sounds like it was done in one take. It drags on for far too long and is rather dull. A better band had potential, it just seems far too controlled. Breastfed should have stayed Rockridge. A b-side at best. Light Catches Your Face is decent. One Stringed Harp is a novelty song. The Curtains Are Twitchin' is mediocre. Some of the lyrics on these songs are really great though. I just feel you lost a certain edge to your music when Brian left. I have high hopes for the new album even if Velcro is a bit meh!
Signed,
Darren
