Title: Out of fuel
Review: If you're hoping for a repeat of "Minor Earth|Major Sky" on this round, you're out of luck. It's not even "Stay On These Roads". What is happening here is that apparently, Pal Waaktaar is focusing more on his band SAVOY than on A-ha. His few contributions are staggering here (and so few as compared to nearly writing ALL of "Memorial Beach"). The music of this album is also a bit adrift and a bit too technological. It's almost a regression for this group who was turning out wonders of tunes from 1990-2000. To hear the first song 'Lifelines' you'd think it was a continuation of greatness, however 'You Wanted More' drags it down. 'Forever Not Yours' brings it back up, only to be dragged down by 'There's A Reason For It'. After the last down here, it never comes back up until 'White Canvas' which is the last high point. 3 highs out of 13 doesn't make for a great enjoyable listen. I'd advise this one to you only if you are a completist.
