Who was your favourite character in Thundercats? Mine was Tygra because he was a clever so-and-so, and without doubt the most knowledgable beast of the bunch. Cheetara came a close second for her good looks and Flo-Jo-like sprint and I suppose Lion-O had to be up there, too. Every gang needs a 'top boy', right? I didn't care much for their enemies. Good triumphed over evil every time as far as I was concerned.
Which brings me to Mumm-Ra: much like their cartoon namesake, this lot seem to be a case of style over substance combined with the staying power of a 99p AA battery. Sure, this single starts off all nice and erotic, with a synth sound lifted from The Cure's 'Head On The Door' period for good measure, but then it turns into a junior version of The Feeling. It's all downhill from there.
What would Steve do, then? Probably turn this off after the first 30 seconds or so and put something more substantial on instead.
Ho-ooooooooooo!
Tygra was the balls. He was so cool, he didn't even bother to mention that he could turn himself invisible until the second series.
Like...
real tigers....?!
I disagree
I love Mumm-ra, and their lovely sparkly pop songs.
I'll be the first..
to say it so I'll say it..
It all went downhill when the sitar player left.
yeah
Thundercats was much better with the Sitar player.
Couldn't disagree more with the...
"style over substance" comment, this lot have a wealth of tunes in their unreleased back catalogue that are innovative and interestingly crafted, but sadly, this isn't one of them. It is however an extremely significant single for the band and has an emotional story attached to it - I'd like to think this is the starter before they go into the main course of their forthcoming debut. I can't wait to hear it, as I know what they are capable of - see my previous Southampton Hobbit review...
disagree.
this reviewer person is talking crap.
