Randy Newman.  The name should sound slightly familiar to all children from the nineties (damn you if it doesn't).  Apparently, he got to score a bunch of movies (including Toy Story) because he knew the guy who was head of 20th Century Fox music.  This fact is my utterly fascinating way to kick off 1972! I absolutely hated this year for movies (besides The Godfather, of course), let me tell you.


Anyway, this was a really depressing album.  We are back to musicians sending stupid anti war messages with no solutions.  It is getting incredibly obnoxious.  Really, Newman, did you not agree with the WWII bombings?  How completely original!


Besides that, kind of boring and unoriginal.  


RATING: 1/5
