Blinding Lights
Republic, under Universal. The craft is real. The night is the whole moral.
Republic put this out. Universal owns Republic. The record is a perfect machine for a feeling: the evening that refuses to become morning.
A house can admire the craft and still not let it set the hour. Play it in the day if you must. Do not let it teach the children that the good life is the one that never goes home.
The eight
Industry
8/10
The hook is built, not stumbled on. That is work.
Household
3/10
No house. A car, a city, a person who is not there.
Piety
3/10
The light is neon, not a conscience.
Courage
4/10
He stays out. That is not the costly kind of brave.
Republic
4/10
A city of strangers. No neighbor.
Temperance
3/10
Appetite is the engine, and it is praised for not stopping.
Truth
6/10
The loneliness is named. The glamour is not billed.
Stewardship
4/10
A sound people will still know. Not a life to hand on.
Live historicallyIf it comes on after supper, name the label out loud, then pick a song that knows how to end.
