Negative Positive
Title: What went wrong?
Review: Steve Silberman (below) got it exactly right. Stills "lost" his genius between the first Manassas record (still fresh and exciting after all these years) and this one. Admittedly, upon listening to it in '99 for the first time in over 20 years, it was a little better than I remembered it. "Pensamiento" is good, as are the acoustic "So Many Times" and "Do You Remember the Americans?" But the rockers are way sub-par, and the overall feel is of the air having gone out of a beautiful balloon.
