Why do I feel like I’ve entered into the realm of the Billy Joel? Is it the smooth jazzyness of the opening track?
But, wait…now I’m in latter day Joel…crossed with a soundscape that Gary Numan could toss off in his sleep…
I just don’t get the accolades for Cockburn. I find him unctuous and boring. I mean, I guess if you were a Dream of the Blue Turtles Sting guy, this might be fore you. It’s not for me. I kind of enjoy the Dire Straits/Cars hybrid “Wanna Go Walking” but not enough to ever want to hear it again, let alone highlight it.
This album is a listless hodgepodge of every flabby AOR trope you can think of.
