Page News has never been one of my favourite Mark 2 albums - I tend to
prefer the rockier There's The Rub, New England and No Smoke. But I
played it a couple of days ago, and maybe I was in the right mood for
something mellow, but it is a very good album. We all appreciate the
title track, "Come In From The Rain" and "Diamond Jack", but songs like
"Midnight Dancer", "Surface To Air" and "714" are very well-constructed
too. I can't really get into "Right Or Wrong" though, and I'm not sure
about "Heartbeat".
I think the beauty of Wishbone Ash is that they
can follow up a rocker like New England with something completely
different. Maybe that's a weakness too, 'cos sometimes it hasn't worked -
Argus/Wishbone Four, for instance, or There's The Rub/Locked In.

Here
is my take on Front Page News. The Cd is good. Yes i know it's not that
heavy rocker we are all used too. But you can't go wrong with any Mk 1
or Mk2. My take on this is the lads were just to busy trying to save ass
with the record deals to get that one song on the top 10 list which to
me sounds very hookie because these guys had and still have very much
talent when it come to singing. But in a sense that was not a bad idea
because it had them go in a different direction and the end result was
they actully had some very mellow and great ballads. OK here we go,
"Diamond Jack" hot, "Right or Wrong", good rocking boogie, hot, very
hot, "Heartbeat" very spacey, mellow, pull my heart stings, close my
eyes and dream. Do I need to say any more. I've been an Ash fan sense
blind eye.

This
album is a bit of a grower. I didn't take a lot of notice to this album
on first hearing as it seemed laid back and not as "in yer face" as
others. However, it has definitely grown on me the more I play it. That
said there are a couple of numbers that I don't care for much but I do
like "Front Page News", "Come In From The Rain" (my fave on the album),
"Right Or Wrong", which I think is an underated rocker, "Diamond Jack",
and I think "Surface To Air" is very underated and it's only recently
that I took much notice of this track. Those solos in it are fantastic
in my view and it's one I wish MTWA would bring into the set on odd
occasion. "714" is an OK track but I still don't care for the rest much.
Overall it's not a bad album but not as good as other MK 2 albums
(apart from Locked In).
