Highlights

The Visitor



A friend said divorce is like all the bad parts of marriage, but worse. This is that. Bits of (David Foster produced) Tubes, pieces of Toni Basil, Go-Gos deep-cuts, a dash of Quarterflash, a dollop of The Babys, the decline and fall of Dennis DeYoung, and Bryan Adams's backup band soldiering on without him all add up to something young and listless. Chicago XIV is probably this bad with the nostalgia filter turned off. It turns out they're Canadian. Oh, Canada. Allen will rate this higher than me.
