Title: Good tunes, unusual lyrics...
Review: I enjoyed most of this disc even after repeated listens. The band feels alive, the singing is clean and easy on the ears, it's nicely recorded. Most noteworthy, perhaps, are the lyrics. They're not the usual pop/rock cliches (If I hear another reference to a starry night or the waves on the ocean I'm gonna throw a brick at my stereo. Too many lyrics by "singer/songwriters" are pure ...). There's intelligence in Stills' writing. I really like the soulful feel of "Lucifer & Jane", for example, and I've listened to it at least ten times, but I'll be ... if I have the slightest idea what this song is about. It sounds like there's something important and creative being communicated... but what opaque language! ...A satisfying disc. Check it out.
