1985 studio album by the Golden Palominos
Visions of Excess is the second album by the Golden Palominos .[ 2] [ 3] The band's line-up was substantially different from their first album.[ 4] It includes a cover of Moby Grape 's "Omaha", with Michael Stipe singing lead.
Trouser Press called Visions of Excess "a brilliant neo-pop album of tuneful, lyrical songs."[ 3] John Leland at Spin wrote, "The generally stellar accompaniment occasionally gets buried in the blustery mix. But more often, it gets subsumed in songwriting that is sometimes just adequate.[ 8]
