I felt the same way about Parade. In fact it took me about 10 years before
I could appreciate Parade. At the time of its release, I was looking for
something else (more along the lines of Kiss--a very misleading single in
terms of representativeness of the album) and was disappointed by Parade.
Only years later have I come to appreciate that album in all its
intricacies.
Not saying Planet Earth is a Parade. But it IS interesting. There are
enough standout tracks for me, and the rest, I'll give them a spin every now
and then. I'll give it a chance to see if it's a grower.
<Moderator: I loved Parade from the first listen. I would sit and listen the
LP over and over again. All the intricate compassition, the fun and some
what personal lyrics. Wow lots of fun stuff going on there. Remaster
please!!! -Derek>
