Why do people piss themselves for this 80s soft rock snoozefest?
cause they haven't heard black sea, which is their best album

Yes, because everyone wants to listen to a smartass middle class version of The Kinks.
Good question. English Settlement is so much better
>>65794064
that album is great though
Who /AppleVenus/ here? River of Orchids is GOAT
>>65794102
>uhhh ACTUALLY this not as well known album is, to the contrary, much better than the album you are proposing
>>65794064
the b side is iffy but the A side is phenomenal what are you on about lad?
>>65794962
i'm not even being contrary, XTC are my favorite band and I happen to prefer black sea over skylarking.
if i wanted to be contrary i'd have said mummer or go2
>>65794972
This. Big Express and Oranges have that same flaw
70s XTC is the best XTC
English Settlement is great tho
>>65794958
how Apple Venus I can be such a masterpiece
and Apple Venus II such a turd??!
>>65795831
They're both turds desu
xtc were way past their bedtime the second they started doing fake psychedelic pop / "pastoral" pop garbage

AV2 is just the material that wasn't good enough to make it onto AV1. Plus it didn't help that they tried to do a guitar pop album when Dave Gregory, the guitar genius of the group, had left earlier. AV2 sounds pretty flat because of this.
