Title: Hope I die before I get old...
Product review: I may be a hardcore Dan fan, but to me, this album lacks a pulse. I miss the raw urgency (and energy) of this group as displayed in the vocals of "Don't Take Me Alive" and in the horn arrangement and playing in the "Royal Scam." For those of you unfamiliar, listen to the pleading horns in this signature track of the Royal Scam album.T.A.N. may be sophisticated and "mature", but it lacks the edge of their early work (pre-Aja). The bottom line is that these very talented musicians have changed and matured, and their music has also changed. These are different people now, and their music is different. Better? I think not. I may be almost as old as these guys, but T.A.N. IS NOT FOR ME.
