Aquashow

Aquashow was the 1973 debut album by singer-songwriter Elliott Murphy. It was reviewed by Paul Nelson in 'Rolling Stone[3] along with Bruce Springsteen's The Wild, the Innocent and the E Street Shuffle under the headline "He's the Best Dylan since 1968", which earned both artists the "New Dylan" tag. When Aquashow was released on CD in 1988 it was reviewed by Robert Hilburn in the Los Angeles Times under the headline "A Compelling Aquashow",[4] and in 2006, thirty-three years after the original release, the album was called an "Album Classic" in a full-page review in UNCUT[5] magazine.

gollark: I do not think that is accurate.
gollark: Yes. I'm aware some people didn't, but it would be significantly worse if they did more of them.
gollark: They probably *won't* be if the perception is that they will just do it arbitrarily and repeatedly for ages and it just slows down things at best.
gollark: Anyway, people have seemingly been mostly willing to engage in obeying lockdown when there was a clearish danger and it seemed like a temporary onetime thing.
gollark: Congratulations, you handed power over to the test designers?
