Title: Too bad
Product review: I agree with Paul Scofield, whoever he is. This doesn't measure up to their first album and that's a shame. The songwriting is inconsistent, the tunes are hard to distinguish from each other, and there are WAY too many technical tricks played with the vocals, and some of the synth noises reek of Emerson Lake and Palmer. Egad. Lyrics-wise, nothing comes close to being as heart-rending as, say, "Valley" from their 1st record. Did Doves make it too big too quickly? Guys...get depressed all over again!
