#3018 Sparks - Big Beat

Sparks' seventies low point - worse than the underrated Introducing. Soulless, somehow over- and under-produced, a thin, taut swing at stripped down rock that scuffs and polished when it should have left alone. Is there an undercurrent of closeted thrashing running through this? If so, should've committed; if not it's just humorlessly gross about women 2.5/5
