I know, I know. "Spirit Of Eden" should be the album deserving all the praise, signaling the start of post-rock, being a masterpiece, blah blah. Don't get me wrong, I love that album.
But it seems to overshadow the equally brilliant, though quite different "The Colour Of Spring" of 1986. For me, there's a lot to like on that album. A superb beginning, with 30 seconds of just drums on the macabre "Happiness Is Easy" all the way up to the final "Time It's Time" with the soaring choir. In between we find the hitsingle 'Life's What You Make It' with that excellent guitar-bit. Top-notch production and incredible versatile playing all through the album. And finally two tracks, 'April 4th' and 'Chameleon Day' already seem to warm the crowd for the follow-up-direction.
"The Colour Of Spring" should be IMO considered a masterpiece. It's not as top-heavy as "Spirit Of Eden", which I often more admire than enjoy.
Here's two tracks:
So, what's the opinion about this album on this board?
