Mirage was the last "band" effort, IMO. Mirage kicks Tangos ass. |
Well Tango from all accounts wasn't really a proper band effort as it was made. Mick was a drugged out mess, Stevie was there for like 1/16th of the time, I think I read somewhere John was having some major problems with his drinking (idk where I read this tho). That might have had something to do with it sounding too "computer" (although I think it sounds fine tbh, just very 80s). The band members themselves were all a mess and very fractured and not really together enough properly to really record together how they should've. Isn't that kinda why Lindsey always said it was a nightmare to make and why he bailed right after?
Idk tho I guess this is just a matter of different strokes for different folks because I like Tango, it has filler and is super 80s but I honestly like it, the songs off it that I like best I listen to a lot.
