I think Call The Comet is quite good. It's miles better than The Messenger, that was so boring that I never even bothered with Playland. But this has enough echoes of the eighties Big Music (Echo & The Bunnymen, Simple Minds, Psychedelic Furs) to make it all rather grandiose and interesting to me. As a lyricist and a singer Marr will never be more than decent at best, but for me this is a solid 7/10 after two listens.
