Out of Water
 |
Out Of Water (1990) is something of a return to form after a number of less than satisfying albums. This album contains no filler material, and is one of his stronger solo albums in his career. The arrangements and songwriting are top notch.
The closing track, A Way Out, is remarkable for how Hammill strings together every possible cliche and phrase containing the word ‘out’, yet transcending cliche and creating something special, especially when he closes unexpectedly with the simple words: “I wish I’d said I love you.” |
Other standout tracks are On The Surface, and Our Oyster.
