The Sundays released "Blind" in 1992, the follow-up to their successful 1990 debut, "Reading, Writing, and Arithmetic." I recall enjoying the soothing and unique sound of the lead vocalist Harriet Wheeler, so I picked this CD up from a $1 bin a couple weeks ago. I should have left it there. The tunes are infinitely boring and generally all sound the same. Disappointing to say the least. Still, it was not a waste of a dollar as I would have easily paid a buck for the last track...their excellent rendition of the Rolling Stone's classic, "Wild Horses." Harriet does an outstanding job on this one...just wish she and the band would write material of their own that sounded half as good. The lead single from "Blind" is also OK ("Love"). Otherwise, 5 out of 5 yawns.iPOD-worthy: 7, 12
