'In the Heat of the Night' vs 'Crimes of Passion'

'Crimes' had all the big hits, Stunt Baby, "Special Thanks to Flexatard", Myron Grombacher, and the future 'Whitesnake 1987' producer making a consistently metallic record but 'Heat' had a whole variety of stuff! The faux-Foxx Ultravox "Clone Sleeps Alone", the percussive-noise guitar solo on Sweet's "No You Don't", a "Heartbreaker" heavier than Zep's, and an Alan Parsons Project song from their concept album about depression resulting from being enslaved by robots. In comparison the "Wuthering Heights" on 'Crimes' lacked all subtlety, perhaps revealing in the process how much Kate Bush gets away with using her aura of privileged fragility (not that I don't wish she'd release something one of these decades)

The correct answer is Get Nervous, for "Little Too Late" all on its own.

two months pass...

i like how in "We Live For Love" you think she's going to drop out of the 'smooth' voice for the chorus and give it some gravel, and she doesn't

"Precious Time" (6:02!) is like if the Grateful Dead were metal like their skull&roses patch led me to believe before I heard them. The next song "It's a Tuff Life" is a reggae like "Crazy Fingers"
