...STYLES on Philistine vary from Sixties bubblegum pop and the Mysterians' "Can't Get Enough Of You Baby" to the funkless salsa of "Take" to the pretentious folk of the Roche's "Hammond Song" to the lounge jazz of "Sorry." The Colourfield almost manages to pull off the song--even a hint of self-mockery would have made it palatable. The Roche's cover, though, is disasterous.

Weighing these factors against the pull of eight reindeer (even nine, counting Rudolph), we see that each animal would have to produce more than 35,000 pounds per square inch of thrust. If that is so, then these eight or nine horned mammals pack more horsepower than all the NATO fighter planes in Europe put together...
