I listen to "New Morning" and "Head Music" so infrequently that I get them mixed up. Which I did again this morning, so looked up the track lists and learned that it's "Head Music" that actually has a few songs I like.

Honestly think Head Music is pretty excellent with the exception of a couple of songs (Head Music and Elephant Man)

After listening to ANM again, I like it (except the ridiculous copy of a part of "Metal Mickey" that is "Beautiful Loser" and "Streetlife" + maybe "Astrogirl" which is not bad just boring).
The rest is nothing great (although "Lost in TV" comes close) but it's nice and smooth (lol at the Peanuts inspired "When the rain falls").
Head Music I can only accept "Everything Will Flow" (which is a great song), "Down" and mayyyybe "She's in Fashion" (but the production is atrocious, like on the rest of the album).

"Everything Will Flow" is the one that's always stuck in my head.

Yeah, it's very good. Certainly the best song on this album (and of that period of theirs).
The lyrics are limited and full of BA's usual words but it has a soothing almost spiritual touch.

"She's in Fashion" is amazing! I know it's not their most loved single, but I find it a rush, and as a late discoverer of the band, it was one of the first tracks that grabbed me. "Everything Will Flow" also great. Love the shiny production on both tracks, though have never given the album a listen

"Head Music" def. continues in the OTT eccentric production vein of "Coming Up."

re : "She's in Fashion", I remember reading at the time that BA was certain it was going to be a big hit/n°1. It wasn't.

xp I should get around to checking it out then! I've never been put off by the production of Coming Up

I am with BA on that one

Well the production on HM is OTT in a different way + the songs are simply (mostly) not good.

"She's in Fashion" is nice but besides the production, it lacks something to be very good.
It's too superficial/shallow imo (well, that's fasion for you !).
