Timeless - Wet Wet Wet

Advantages: Some risk taking , Run
Disadvantages: too Many slow songs,

...back with their new album Timeless recorded on their own record label (so I suppose technically they are indie now!) and being a more self assured 30 year old I was not embarrassed to rush out and buy the album. The first thing you notice about the album is the cover. It is by by Klaus Voormann who also designed the seminal cover for Revolver by the Beatles. I think this was a good move and i do like the cover as it is beautifully drawn and feels ...
...wall. On first hearing Timeless I felt a bit cheated and underwhelmed due to my high expectations. It was not an immediate album compared to High On The Happy Side or Picture This, which had some instantly likable song such as Somewhere Somehow, Don't want to Forgive Me Now or Lip Service.

Advantages: great music
Disadvantages: none

...The Wets are back this album is great. With it being the greatest hits it has all the timeless classics by wet wet wet and some new ones. Hearing all the old ones brought back so many memories and I am sure new memories with the new tracks. I have got all there albums but most of them are on LP so to have all the hits on CD was great and I can play it in the car to much to the dislike from my husband. All the tracks sound so good the old ones as well as the new one tracks such as Temptation, Wishing I was Lucky, Angel Eyes and the new ones All I want.

Not one song on this CD is a duff one - and I think I can honestly say that. Try saying that about most albums these days! Wet Wet Wet were Graeme Clark, Neil Mitchell, Tommy Cunningham and of course Marti Pellow. From their first gig ing Glasgows Multi Media Club, and were seen by head of Rough Trade Records, Jeff Travis. Under their own record label, Precious Organisation, they were signed. What followed were various singles being released, mostly off their own back though, I believe. In their time they released 5 other... Read review
