My apologies for being behind on this but I only received it yesterday.

I have to say, I'm hugely surprised at the negativity over the new cd. I personally think it's a massive step back in the right direction after AAN and much more in keeping with Take It Too The Limit.

There is probably a ballad or two too many but TITTL had 5 ballads so hardly a huge departure for the band. And I think 3 of the ballads are pretty good so not a big problem anyway. Plus, the uptempo tunes are top draw, particularly Ladies Come First, See You In Hell and Wanna Be Rich.

Maybe my expectations have been suitably lowered but I'm very pleasantly surprised.
