They fell down a hole IMO. Their first record, almost forcibly made, - was brilliant. Genius Geeks, old beyond their years, letting out a tone of pain for therapy.Then Peter Buck got involved. (Caveat: I HATE Peter Buck, a pompous and pretentious ass and a wretched guitar player for his band's stature: ruined REM). Then, the Feelies became an REM/Lou Reed cross of serious "musically acceptable" guitar band, and lost all of their pathos.
Their A&M release was step further away from originality: sad.Sorry for the tangent, (can you tell that I became disappointed by so much Feelies potential, - or what I perceive as such)? - I'll check out the Power Out.
Thanks for the tip.
is this the real me, or a mere facsimile?
