With your 1st stop being SHEET MUSIC, your 2nd stop being The Original Soundtrack, you should now have arrived at stop no.3, "How Dare You". Can you hear it yet? Can you hear how influential 10cc were on 7o's music, and what was to come in the 8o's? By this time, even ABBA & The Carpenters started to sound like them, whether that made 10cc happy or not no one knows. Unfortunately the partnership of Creme/Godley/Stewart/Gouldman came to a close on this album. This is a frustrating thing. What could have come after this album no one knows, but something tells me it would have absolutely put 10cc through the roof. But alas it was not to be. So what you get is 10cc in "change mode". Of the three albums mentioned, "How Dare You!" is the weakest. This does not mean that 10cc forgot how to write great songs. It just means there focus grew a little wavery, and the split between the two creative forces Godley/Creme and Stewart/Gouldman became a little more defined on HDY!. But what you will find are some absolutely gorgeous pieces of music on this album. "I'm Mandy Fly Me" should have convinced you by now that Eric Stewart has one of the nicest voices you've ever heard, and that in 4.00 many things can happen in a song. The beautiful "Lazy Ways" goes further along this point. I find "I Wanna Rule The World" absolutely hilarious and a definite precursor to acts like They Might Be Giants. "Iceberg" is absolutely demented, and fun, and a whole load of other things you wouldn't associate with schizophrenia. "Don't Hang Up" takes you on the wedding night, the honeymoon, the fallout with no reconciliation all in 6 minutes. "Art For Art's Sake" - why it hasn't been used in a rap song I don't know, the opening into the main riff is absolutely classic. 10cc albums should be given the DVD treatment. They should be in total surround sound, so you actually "feel" how visual there songs were, and how much thought they put into them. 3rd stop --- How Dare You! (1976)
