So y'all had me listening to zebras first album today and I will be listening to no tellin lies tomorrow. I like this album, but like many second albums its not quite as good as the first...wait until the summers gone is a great opening track with the hard guitar and pounding drums..I have always liked bears, nice little change...lullaby was dedicated to John Lennon and I like the flow of the song...no tellin lies is a nice title track. Go back and listen again to but no more...I really like…

Go back and listen again to but no more...I really like that one..agree that the last two are fillers...I remember waiting for this album to come out and I thought the zebra chess piece was cool ( hey it was 1984 ). To me, a good solid album..but the next album. 3.v was really good to me Keep your pen handy.

<p>So after two Zebra albums, I'm quickly forming the following opinion regarding the band: "eh..."</p>
<p></p>
<p>I'm not getting the likability of the high pitch vocals, its more distracting than anything. And RJ's right, track two is pure filler. Track three is OK, but lyrically this gets really silly. "The only sound in the forest is the sound of snow CRASHING to the ground"... hmmm....</p>

<p>I am thankful for 80's bands that break into cool geetar solos. These guys are really solid musicians, but that's where it kind of stops being positive.</p>

<p>So heres my final statement on Zebra...</p>

<p>So after two Zebra albums, I'm quickly forming the following opinion regarding the band: While they are talented musically with a decent vocalist and although I don't hear much of anything unpleasant, I have yet to find why everybody thinks they were the next big thing that somehow missed the boat.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Below are a few observations on this album:</p>
<ul>
<li>The first track was pretty good, while the second track was possibly filler.</li>
<li>The third track was pretty good too.…</li>

<p>Below are a few observations on this album:</p>
<ul>
<li>The first track was pretty good, while the second track was possibly filler.</li>
<li>The third track was pretty good too. There is a nice geetar solo here, and the keyboards almost sound like a string arrangement at times.</li>
<li>Track four is pretty bad. The high vocals are quite irritating and the horns blow...literally.</li>
<li>Track five is the best one here. I thought it was a cover of Rocket Man at first.</li>
<li>The vocalist sounds <em><strong>A LOT</strong></em> like Mark Slaughter on track 7.</li>
<li>The last two songs are text book filler.</li>
</ul>
<p></p>
<p>I do have a question. Does this band have multiple vocalists or does the one vocalist just sing really, really, really high at times?</p> Sweet!tag:classic-rock-bottom.ning.com,2013-03-09:6060463:Comment:813282013-03-09T23:14:28.285ZJonhttp://classic-rock-bottom.ning.com/profile/JonCStephenson
