The current music landscape has seen a number of compelling new albums from the likes of Dave Matthews Band, The Killers, and Muse.  Unfortunately, The Wallflowers were not able to join this group.  While Glad All Over is not a bad album, there isn't much that vies for attention.  I don't know if it was the decision to work with Mick Jones of the Clash or something bigger, but this just doesn't seem like The Wallflowers to me.  I thought the best two songs on the album were the urgent "It's A Dream" and the rather subdued "Love Is A Country".  However neither of these really stands up to previous albums by The Wallflowers or even Jakob Dylan's solo work either.  You may or may not agree.  However, if you are still on the fence about this album, I'll put it to you in simple terms.  If you like the first single "Reboot The Mission" or "Misfits And Lovers", you'll probably like Glad All Over.  If you don't, you'll probably want to pass.  It's not that the music is bad per se, but it does little to grab my attention and fight to keep it.
