Negative Positive
Title: Enough of this brazilian stuff already.
Review: By this time in the PM's career, it was time to move beyond the whole brazilian influence that was featured on this as well as the 2 preceding PMG records (both far superior IMO), First Circle and Still Life (Talking). "Beat 70" and "Every Summer Night" rank among the "cheesiest" things Pat has ever done. "Have You Heard" is becoming a classic PMG tune, and "Are We There Yet?" is Lyle Mays at his finest, but the rest of the disc is pretty weak. "Beat 70" and "Every Summer Night" rank among the "cheesiest" things Pat has ever done. This isn't a bad CD, but I would only recommend it for the Pat Metheny/PMG completist.
Is the review positive or negative?
