‘Common Thread’ tells us that Portland’s Risley had decided the best course of action is to properly go for it, firing off the shots as they go as the riffs set the tone for everything else to follow. There is also, and this might seem like a contradiction, a wasted elegance going down too and it probably extends from a singer who sounds like is half cut but prepared to bust a gut for the cause. Reminded me of Mt. Joy’s ‘Acrobat’, yep it is just that good. KH
