Title: Kevin settles into the role of idiosyncratic, soft rock songwriter.
Product review: After the perceived disappointment of "Sweet Deceiver", Kevin seems to be comfortable with himself as a matured, off-beat, soft rock composer on his follow-up release. As usual, the performances of his session players are top-notch on "Yes, We Have No Mananas" and the songwriting is typical, lovable Kevin. One does miss the experimental element of his earlier work, but having said that, an Ayers pop tune is experimental in lyrical substance to start. Highlights include his remake of "Falling In Love Again", the ultra-accessible "Star", the transcendental "Blue" (with an amazing Ollie Halsall guitar solo) and the oft-maligned but wonderful "The Owl". "Yes, We Have No Mananas" is an accessible, tuneful record, if not as exciting as Kevin's earlier psychedelic/progressive work.
