[QUOTE="This Charming Bowie, post: 1987355247, member: 29559"] Now, I have a soft spot for [I]Low In High School[/I] - I used to play it all the time when it came out, and still haven't got tired of a lot of it. Listening back to this track, it's clear that someone thought that some light relief in the middle of the dark, more abrasive sounds of the sandwiching cuts. 'All The Young' seems to be aspiring for the feel of a '60s protest song - now, with Moz's cover of Dylan's 'Only A Pawn In Their Game', we can see he had some clear inspiratory points - but never seems to rise above the happy-clappy beat and polite horns. It does have a fine hook, but everything just seems too...well, civil, to have much of an impact. The lyrics seem to be tackling the idea of condescending attitudes towards younger people, but also don't really reach for verbose gold either. In summary, it's [I]fine [/I]and works as a bit of a stopgap in the second side, but ultimately isn't anything to treasure much. I do quite like the single cover - remember when Moz had some decent graphic design to his name?[IMG]https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51u%2BFtyVzML._AC_.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
