Album
Album 1979 12 Songs. Present Tense. Pop free to Shoes Present Tense Tomorrow Night, Too Late and more. 11 tracks 36:00. One of three Shoes Elektra records-Present Tense 1979, Tongue Twister 1981, and Boomerang 1982-Present Tense won Shoes an international following and solid critical respect. Shoes videos- Too Late and Tomorrow Night in particular-were prominently featured on early MTV. Recorded in England and co-produced by the band, Present Tense didn't end up sounding like a Cheap Trick clone, had a winsome, cool air thanks to the brilliant harmonies that distinguished the group from the Knack, and in the end traded off power and wistfulness in equal measure. The harmonies in particular are just lovely - as distinct and band-defining as those of the Beach Boys - on songs like Too Late, Three Times, and Your Very Eyes. Released 1979. Present Tense Tracklist. Tomorrow Night Lyrics. About Present Tense. Present Tense Q&A. Present Tense is ranked 24,080th in the overall chart, 2,940th in the 1970s, and 289th in the year 1979.
