Title: terrible!
Product review: When you listen to albums like Curves Ahead and Welcome To The St James Club you wonder if this is really the same band. It isn't, of course, and thats why its so awful. The high-octane tracks of old have been replaced by warbling, elevator-music fodder. I almost fell asleep listening to it. Russ Freeman has written some great stuff in the past but this is much too predictable. It drags up every cliche and recycles it. Elements of Marc Antoine, Santana etc are all mixed in an unholy brew. Its tragic because we know Freeman is capable of his own dynamic sound whereas this sounds flat and lifeless. This isn't the Rippingtons, its a commercially-orientated mess.
