listened to the Dusty album today, it's pretty incredible. practically every song feels like a different producer's audition for what her 80s sound could be - new wave! electro! a Pirates deep cut! her voice is a great unifier for all this tbh.
got halfway through the Grace Slick one, which is a lot more sonically consistent... the lyrics are often kind of headache-inducing though. i tried to look up the ones for "All the Machines," but the Internet lyrics sites have all just filled it in with the lyrics to an entirely different song by Three Days Grace. this is exactly the kind of thing Grace was trying to warn us about!

Ray was so short of ideas in the 80s that it's basically a copy of the cover of the album that came before - except with the whole band and not just Ray himself.

Art-rock bands are tricky, because their '70s album covers, Hipgnosis or otherwise, are weird to begin with. But this one feels very new-wavey.

I think this move was absolutely necessary in that era. As a kid in the 80s every now and then I would check out the bargain albums at K-Mart and find 70s albums by acts like Hall & Oates or Rod Stewart etc. and the covers seemed grotesquely dated.
