Comments for Church, The, Gold Afternoon Fix

Hmmm...kind of a re-run of Starfish. Record company pressure dominates the feel of this album, which nonetheless has some great songs on it. My faves are Grind, Fading Away and You're Still Beautiful. Steve Kilbey has said he wasn't happy with the completed album, and the opening lyrics say it all "Hi to all the people who are selling me. Here's one straight from the factory." He's not a happy camper. If you liked Starfish, you'll like this too. Listen out for the drum machine which replaced Richard Ploog. Brian Smith

I think this album definitely has its moments. Pharoah is classic cynical Kilbey, and Metropolis is a great single. However, this album would have flowed much better if it had been only 8 or nine songs.
