Everything old is new again. Tango actually sounds pretty fresh, as those 80s synths are hip again.

As long as you believe it, that's all that matters...

If a band can't (reasonably) replicate the sound live, then it's overdone!

But that's WHY Tango has never been a favorite. It IS by my favorite band, so of course I (occasionally) listen to it, BUT, BUT BUT, it doesn't sound like a BAND playing. It sounds like a computer programmer placed every note in the exact, proper place. Which is cold and sterile. Much like you know who...

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.
