Title: Disappointing PMG album
Review: WE LIVE HERE is the most disappointing of all the Pat Metheny Group albums in that it is full of cookie-cutter, jazz fusion fluff and watered down, relatively uninteresting melodies -- Pat is capable of so much more. I can honestly say that none of the tunes really grab me. "Here to Stay" is fairly standard, upbeat Metheny -- what one might deem the "hit single" from the album -- but even this pales in comparison to other songs on PMG albums. It feels like Metheny and Co. were simply going through the motions on this album. Following Pat's accomplished solo album SECRET STORY (one of his all-time best) which was a should-have-been PMG album, WE LIVE HERE is just not up to the same standards.
