Title: Phoned it in.
Review: I caught the Coors on a televised concert performance. The music seeemed refreshing, interesting, and pleasant. So I tried the "Forgiven Not Forgotten" album. I liked it. The only weak point for me was the fact that so much of the songs involved repeating the same lyrics over and over. By itself a small point and on the strength of the album I bought the next, "In Blue.""In Blue" takes this repition to new heights of monotony with any redeeming features. It's like disco without the thumpa thumpa dance beat. There is nothing new or fresh about the music, lyrics or performances. It's as if this album is made up of the "B" sides of the songs on the prior album. Nothing inventive musically is going on. Nothing clever in the lyrics, lyrics, lyrics, and nothing original in the performances. Whatever "magic" they had before seems to be gone.
