#471 The Jam – Sound Affects

Posted on by anoceanroars

The Jam are back with another album Sound Affects. It was influenced by Michael Jackson’s Off The Wall and the Beatles’ Revolver album.

My favourite songs are “That’s Entertainment“, “Man in the Corner Shop“, and “Scrape Away”.

I listened to their final album The Gift because it has the hit song “A Town Called Malice”. I think it is the best of their albums. I like the shift to more Northern Soul and the added elements of jazz. It is more complex musically. As for Sound Affects, it is good, but it has more of the mod revival sound that does not move me as much. If it was a revival of the 80s, then I might appreciate it more. This album is a grower. 8/10.

…and i hate writing about myself. It feels awkward. Or i am a bit awkward and rather not write about it. i have not got a clue where to begin or end… …at this very moment i am a recent graduate of Colorado State University. i live in Longmont, Colorado, which i next to Boulder. Boulder is where all hipsters live. See, this crap is rather boring. i moved here from Budapest, Hungary four years ago, well, actually that is sort of a lie. i was living in Lyon, France one year before i moved to Colorado and before that Hungary. i like to travel or move. i keep moving… i have many interest besides moving: writing, watching, taking, listening and reading (stories, films, photographs, music and books).
