This is another multiple movement work that doesn’t quite grab the listener the way “MacArthur Park” did. It was released as a single, but didn’t do well. It’s a nuclear holocaust song.
Even after 43 years, no one can figure out what this song was about.
”The Hymns from the Grand Terrace”
This is another huge multiple movement song. Webb thought that working on a larger canvas would make him more relevant.
Nasty, brutish and short. May be the best song on the album.
