Album of the Day: Spring Session M- Missing Persons
Album: Spring Session M
Artist: Missing Persons
Year Released: 1982
How obtained: My roommate had an extra copy lying around so he passed one on to me.
Summary: Despite my admiration for Missing Persons, I have to admit that this album did not age particularly well. The songs you recognize are still peppy, but the non- hit songs were not released as singles for a reason. Some of the synthesizer music from the 80’s survived despite the gimmicks; other songs have not fared as well. There were times when I was listening to this album when I actually glanced at the clock to see how much longer I had to listen to the album. That’s never a good sign. This is perhaps an album best listened to on CD or MP3, a format that affords the listener the opportunity to skip songs if they are so inclined.
