Yeah, that's about my take on both TAAB2 and HE. I gave each of them a few dozen spins when they came out. Nothing ever stuck. Probably will never play either of them again.
At least HE stands or falls on its own merits. TAAB2 irked me beyond its relative mediocrity because Ian re-used the name of his most successful LP ever (IMHO of course) for a new record that has nothing in common spiritually with the original, other than that silly story I never paid any attention to anyway. Purely a marketing ploy.
