Ancient Ways Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Not a masterpiece. Also sounds like the boys had their testes removed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J2112YYZ Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Plenty of good stuff on the album. It just suffered from the production not being a little heavier. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Entre_Perpetuo Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Maybe not a masterpiece, but I'd say severely underrated. Worst offenses on there are Hand Over Fist and Anagram, which are just boring and that's all that's really wrong with the album. The production style fits the songwriting and overall aesthetic they were going for and I find it quite pleasing. Plus is has Available Light, one of the most unjustly overlooked songs in their whole catalogue. And Mick and Segue are only bums if they don't respond to this thread, lol. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theredtamasrule Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 God. I remember buying it the day it came out. Ran to my dorm room. Put it in the cd and rocked out approvingly to Show Don’t Tell...and then sat there speechless as the crap started to ooze out of the CD player. Mostly awful songs. Awful production. Awful album. It still stings a little how much this album disappoints me. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueschica Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Presto is epic...love it. The Pass is an all time favorite of mine. Was just thinking that about the Pass- how can you not like an album with that on it? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EagleMoon Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Not a masterpiece. Also sounds like the boys had their testes removed. Terry Brown took them with him when he left. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorraine Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 (edited) Some ambassadors they turned out to be. We ought to fire them. ;) But, let's not be too hasty in our condemnation of them. Perhaps the two rascals were out celebrating Presto's anniversary and got too carried away to bother with TRF and album anni threads.

Blue J Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 A true masterpiece was released 28 years ago today. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Presto_(album) Love it, love it...I just listened to Presto a couple of weeks ago, for the first time in awhile. One or two weak-ish songs, but overall, such a triumph. I love the sound of it, all the way around, even if it is thinner than others. It fits, it works. I dig. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
