A step away from the pop perfection of their first but a better record overall. Wonderful songwriting.
Similar in style and structure to their debut. Particular highlights for me would be Way Out West and What's Going Ahn.
Whereas the debut album had a very acoustic feel to it, "Radio City" was more raw album without losing the sound of Big Star, though. Chilton's "September Gurls" has become a power-pop classic. The song has been recorded by numerous other artist, but none of those that I have heard come close to surpassing this terrific original version.
The album contains so much great music that it can be difficult to bring out just a few specifically; but songs like "Life is White", "Way Out West", "What's Going Ahn" and "Daisy Glaze" are so great that I can't help just bringing them up. Bassist Andy Hummel and drummer Jody Stephens helped Chilton in writing these songs.
With the closing track, the nice acoustic "I'm in Love With a Girl", they return to the softer feel of the first album.
