Title: Overproduced
Product review: I would rate most Midnight Oil albums 5 stars. Not so this one. It has some good songs which are ruined by heavy-handed production in the studio and too much commercial slickness. Hello! Midnight Oil is a great band because of their raw rock sound coupled with savvy on-target political commentary. This album just does not work because the raw edge is gone, replaced with slickness that even veers into (somebody has to say it) disco influences on a couple of tracks. Only one great track - "Best of Both Worlds" - is up to the usual par one expects from the Oils.
