RetroReviews: N1062 The Flowing Tide

I've been here both under my own steam; and also when my sister got convinced that the band we'd just seen in The Academy may come in afterwards; as that is what they used to do after gigs. Realistically, they were now too old and boring to go on the lash after a gig and anyway, the metal cachet of the Flowing Tide isn't quite what it used to be (see reviews on that link claiming it was gone by 2010)
