‘Before The Poison’ kicks the album off with a blast of pure pop energy. It’s a brave and brilliant refocusing of Marianne Faithfull energies, virtually a rebirth. When you buy a Marianne Faithfull album, you know exactly what you’re getting! Enjoy the show.
My Friends Have one is one of the better boring ones. Strong, powerful vocals of Marianne Faithfull in Crazy Love are very impressive. Best song on the album, love it. Simply the finest work ever from this multi-talented singer. Album opener Before The Poison is a bright, upbeat ditty. There Is A Ghost is such a marvelous and optimistic song that things can get just better. In The Factory (3:50) Not one of my favorites, but for a lot of people this is one of their best songs. Desperanto (4:23) - awsome. City Of Quartz is the album’s biggest hit, I think.
