That about sums it up.........not that I managed to listen right to the end. haven't been able to do that since Keep The Faith.
I tried really hard with this , but I was off side from the first few minutes as their typically "uplifting" first track got the cringe factor way up there.
From there it struck me as a decent quality easy listening album- it's all very passable if you're not after stuff that rocks , but for me it's pretty dire. The whiny nature of JBJ's voice never bothered me when they rocked a bit but here that also grates.
Funnily enough with all the BJ discussion around here lately I've been playing the first 4 albums big time in recent weeks (along with Sunstorm's Emotional Fire - a grower- and Trail of Murder which has been on non stop rotation for months). and rediscovering my love of the early BJ material.
