Petrichor 4,635 Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 Most people know Joni Mitchell for her beautiful jazz fusion and folk music, but not too many are aware of her brief, albeit perfect, synth pop-rock stint. Joni’s 1985 album Dog Eat Dog was produced by Thomas Dolby (“She Blinded Me With Science”) among others, and features backing vocals from legendary artists like Michael McDonald. Dog Eat Dog was panned by critics when it was released for its more “stereotypical” sound, which many at the time thought was gimmicky. In the years following its release, the album has gained a cult following, with modern opinions trending to a more positive view (it’s personally one of my top five favorite Joni albums, and she’s my favorite musician besides Gaga - the album is pure pop perfection). If you’re a fan of 80s synth pop, then definitely give Dog Eat Dog from the iconic Joni Mitchell a spin. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the quality of her work really dipped here and with Chalk Mark in a Rain Storm. I do have to give it to here, it was something new! I take issue with the (horrendously dated) production and the preachiness of the lyrics, though. Ethiopia may be the dullest most meandering thing I have ever heard. The ‘90s was thankfully a sort of artistic renaissance for her, though! EDIT: Although I realise I am completely crapping on your thread. It is certainly an interesting listen, a unique addition to her catalogue. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
