The Sundays - Blind

Considering how much I love the Sundays, it's perhaps a bit surprising that it's taken me this long to listen to this, the middle of their three lps - maybe it's that what their music means to me (and what it represents) is just as important as the actual music itself. Anyway, though, here we are, and while Blind hasn't really caught at me yet (the strong Cocteau-isms which make themselves felt in places tend to detract from rather than enhancing the band's uniquely enchanting flavour, and the songwriting isn't generally immediate), but sometimes these things take time, and besides, as I was saying just before, maybe it doesn't even matter if not.
