No, it's not Chanukah or any other special occasion, so why am I featuring something by
The Windbreakers? Am just fulfilling request is all. Plus, this is one of the only titles involving
Tim Lee that hasn't seen a digital reissue. Without the involvement of longtime (and recently deceased) partner
Bobby Sutliff,
A Different Sort is true to it's title in that it takes a different tack than the preceding
Terminal (1985) and
Run (1986) opting for a slightly subtler approach. There's no shortage of crunchy guitars, albeit the going here isn't quite as angsty as evidenced by their aforementioned earlier records. Still, a not-so-pristine Windbreakers album is exponentially better than what passed for rock 'n roll on the more pedestrian side of the FM dial, and "Knowing Me," "So Much" and the especially vigorous "Forget Again" all wield the kind of grit and musculature Lee & Co. staked their reputation earlier on in the decade. I'm making this available in MP3 and FLAC.
01. Knowing Me
02. Fit In
03. You Closed Your Eyes
04. Better Left Unsaid
05. So Far Away
06. A Different Sort...
07. So Much
08. We Never Understand
09. Forget Again
10. Any Longer
