There was a bit of ignorant and uninspired rock snobbery in today’s SMH by Bernard Zuel regarding The Angels (not online): And if you want a little bit of extra roughage you can always take in The Angels’ Wasted Sleepless Nights . For about half of the 20 tracks here, the AC/DC inspired brutally simple approach to pub rock - with choruses even the drunkest of yobs could repeat - is amusing. I mean, “this is it folks over the top”? Hilarious. The song Zuel is referring to is Take a Long Line and the lyrics do indeed appear at the beginning of the song. The drums are pounding and the bass thumping. Doc Neeson sets up the staccato outline of the main riff with those words before everyone joins in propelling the song along. Now if Neeson had said this lyric in the context of a ballad it would sound a little out of place. But this is rawk we are talking about and sometimes it is over the top. Pulling lyrics out of their musical context does nothing. It is a cheap game that can make any artist sound ridiculous.
