Between Two Fires
80s rock is littered with guys like Paul Young. I often liken them to American Idol performers. They aren’t really all that edge cutting. They are inoffensive. That they managed to scrape out a career from uninteresting album pop is an achievement unto itself and I am loath to condemn it considering, hell, I didn’t do it.
This album is the sound of that era. Every track could be the closing credit track to an 80s Rom-Com (looking at you, specifically, “Wonderland”). This kind of programmer is the price I pay to get to the really good stuff of the era. I suppose it has its fans.
Lemme put it this way, I could cook dinner to this record.
