Title: A SMALL STEP BACK
Review: IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A MIRACLE TO TOP "LIVE THE LIFE" AND I'M SORRY TO SAY THERE IS NO MIRACLE WITH SMITH'S LATEST EFFORT,"THIS IS YOUR TIME".WHILE THERE ARE SOME OUTSTANDING TRACKS SUCH AS "HEY YOU IT'S ME,THE TITLE TRACK,AND THE SURPRISINGLY HARD EDGED ROCK SONG,"REACH OUT TO ME",FOR THE MOST PART THE CD LACKS THE STRONG MELODIES AND HARMONIES THAT ARE USUALLY PART OF SMITH'S BEST WORK.THE TWO SONGS ABOUT HIS DAUGHTERS SOUND ALMOST THE SAME. ALSO,SMITH'S ATTEMPT AT TODAY'S "HIPPER"SOUND WITH "WORTH IT ALL"AND "DREAM" Just DOESN'T CUT IT.ALL IN ALL NOT A BAD CD,BUT I WAS EXPECTING MORE FROM THIS GREAT ARTIST.
Is the review positive or negative?
