2.0 out of 5 stars No wonder they quit soon after this dud., 13 Jun 2005

By	Nick (UK) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Short Stories/Tall Tales (Audio CD)

Sounds like this was their attempt at being eclectic, with its mix of pop(ish)-rock and new wave(ish)sensibilities. That`s the trouble with this record; it defies description or categorisation, it`s all so pseudo and would-be. Some of the band members were enamoured of the punk and new wave bands then prevalent on the music scene, but if some of the guitar-riff oriented tracks on this album, such as Law On The Run and Unapproved Road(were they trying to copy The Cars?) were an attempt at contributing to that scene, then the results are underwhelming to say the least.
The only decent tracks here are Rescue Me(acoustic and folky-sounding), The Life You Save(in the same vein as The Man Who Built America album), and the simple but infectious Guests of the Nation, which was also released as a single. Back In My Arms is tolerable padding.
Of the rest of the material, Amazing Offer and Ricochet Man are cringeworthily frivolous, and the cheesy Soap Opera is equally execrable.
Oh but how could I forget Summer`s Most Wanted Girl - very easily, in fact.
Short Stories/Tall Tales more often than not sounds like a lame and forgettable debut album by a late 70`s wannabe pop-rock band that would subsequently disappear without a trace, as Horslips were in fact to do not long afterwards.

2.0 out of 5 stars Their last and worst studio album, 13 Dec 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Short Stories/Tall Tales (Audio CD)

This is the least definitive album in the Horslips back catalogue, and it`s only of value to Horslips `freaks` and completists.
That said, "Guests of the Nation", "The Life You Save", and "Rescue Me" are actually pretty good songs and well worth a listen, which makes it all the more disappointing that the rest of the album is so mediocre, at best, and abysmal, at worst. Unfortunately, the recently released "definitive" `Best Of` Horslips double CD compilation does not provide the expected solution to the dilemma facing those who would like to have the three good tracks from "Short Stories/Tall Tales" without being lumbered with the rest of the album, because the Best Of CD includes "Summers Most Wanted Girl" and NOT "The Life You Save"!
Very naughty indeed...
