“Mandinka” is pretty solid pop song, but if I never hear it again that’s OK. I worked at a record store with a friend, Robby Lloyd, when this came out and he played it so much that I think I’m set for life. “Drink Before the War” on the flipside is Sinead’s version of a metal power ballad, but with keyboards. I’m not kidding; this song builds like it was written by The Scorpions or something. One thing for sure, Sinead O’Connor has one good looking head. I’m jealous.
Thanks for reminding me of Robby Loyd and the Mandinka days…..that was quite a flashback. Don’t forget to mention Sissy Dixon when you get around to reviewing that Poison record in your collection….you DO have an upcoming Poison review don’t you?
