I am just amazed at how good the Harmony release is. Wow! EVERY song is sneaky good. I mean they grow on you the more you listen.
Ive been listening to it for a couple of days now and I can't stop! In my truck, the sitting room, out back of the house...it's that good.
I bought the cd last January but, sorry to say, I kind of mothballed it. I listened to it then, but for some strange reason it didn't impress me.
Last week I started reading these threads again and I was encouraged to revisit the last 5 releases. Consequently, Harmony is now one of my top 10 GL releases. I wanted to create a rating list but after "End Of All Time" there's just a big log jam. I love them all! "End Of All Time" is just awesome!
The melodies are vintage! That's probably what impresses me most. How many artists (even prolific ones) fade away because they just lose it. I thought GL had lost it but that wouldn't have taken away my esteem for him. I'm amazed at his creative drive.
I think he hit a homerun here and my esteem for him is again broadened.
