Negative Positive
Title: Solid effort
Review: What sets this album apart from his others is its notable absence of an attempted hook: the cheesy "The Only Thing that Looks Good on Me is You" leaps to mind. Nearly all of the songs are solid, and very listenable. No cheese, and maturity as a songwriter and performer is evident everywhere. Everywhere, however, is only 37 minutes...a little disappointing since his last pure studio album was 6 years ago.I've been a fan for 23 years and know his work well. This can sit beside Reckless, Waking Up the Neighbors, Cuts Like a Kife, and On A Day Like Today as one of his stronger works.
Is the review positive or negative?
