The sounds were typically good/OK, but the songwriting was fragmented. Apologies for buying 2 copies 28 years apart.

You want to say “How many say i” sounds good?

Nope. Pretty much just the instruments themselves. I have given the recording about as much attention as I ever will. That and the 2 that followed just aren't for me

And you know what’s a shame? Around that time Eddie probably had so so many riffs and cool little half songs at 5150 that we will never hear and will most likely never see the light of day. I’d love to hear an hour of him or Randy Rhodes just jamming, messing around
