While Wolstenholme's stately \"Ra\" shows a dabbling in mysticism and the soaring sound of their previous work, most of the album is a strangely glum affair. John Lees adopts a pub rock sound in his compositions, although \"May Day\" manages to veer unexpectedly into a glorious choral and organ arrangement. \"Polk Street Rag,\" despite its name, is a slick rocker about a sordid X-rated movie house in San Francisco. There's a black humor throughout, as in this brutally funny line from \"Suicide?\": \"Heard a voice shouting 'Don't jump, please for God's sake let me move my car.'\" Not up to the level of their best work, but worth a listen for fans. ~ Paul Collins","brand":"MovieMars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47519840731423,"sku":"5013929467040","price":43.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/7833\/0399\/files\/9964a6c826f11e46988789cbafe1216c_574387e5-13f7-4b30-8561-871f25e53501.jpg?v=1777724484","url":"https:\/\/www.moviemars.com\/products\/octoberon-remastered-expanded-2-cd-dvd","provider":"MovieMars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
