I have an Alan Parsons Project 8 track. It came in a box of scrappy 8 tracks that was given to me a while back. I haven't played it yet, I'm guessing by the scrappy image on the label it sucks. Someday I'll get brave and play it. Or not.

Alan Parsons was a stud. He engineered The Beatles' Abby Road album and Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon! But I never cared for his own shit. When this Alan Parson's Project song was in heavy rotation, I hated it. But when I hear it now, it delivers a nostalgic comfort. https://youtu.be/NNiie_zmSr8

"The Turn of a Friendly Card". Looks awful. Someday I'll pop it in the old machine.

I guarantee that it's aweful. I know that because it's the Alan Parsons Project.

To drink in this pub, as by consecration in the name of a divinity more benevolent than all others, it all becomes the actual drink in my hand, the wonder and glory of MDM's heady youth, the balm and solace of fevered generations, a drink so endearing and inspired that although its prototype has vanished, its legend lingers on in the way a carpet stain can bring on uplifting emotions or possibly the way your bed pillow is stuck to your face by the miracle adhesion of dried vomit can recall vague essences of hilarity.
I always felt that purple flowery prose was proper for posting on this board.
C’mon, Thirsty...you know good and well this song’s about chugging warm beer.

It was in fact pretty awful. I got through maybe 2 songs. After that I made the decision that there was no way in hell the album was not gonna stop sucking so I gave up.

The Alan Parsons call this invasive technology shit decades ago?
Try playing it at 0.25X speed.
(Ya know, click that menu button on the YouTube video screen and it offers playback speed)

...then the song becomes a heroin-laden death march of space aliens in a Kabuki-Mario Bros production. It's all about tinfoil hats. I'm certain of it.

0.25X is known to cause feverish nightmares.
