Review title: Disappointing
Product review: This album catches the Waterboys trying to be what they are not (or, at least, have not been until this effort) -- derivative. Though the lyrics are adequate, the songwriting is subpar. This is exacerbated by, as another critic noted, the poor production and "special" effects. The result is a cluttered mess that isn't worth the struggle of dozens of listenings (at least not yet). This comes from a long time Waterboys and Mike Scott fan, who melted the plastic many years ago on singles like, "Church not made with Hands," "Spirit," "When will we be Married?", and "Be my Enemy," and, more recent devotion to Scott's solo, Christian-centered, "Bring 'em all In."
