You know what? I was expecting to hate this. And, coming on the heels of Giant Sand there was no way I could find much to love here, given the past one by the Styx axeman.
On the contrary. With a sound that comes across as a hybrid Don Henley & Rick Springfield, the first side is packed with confectionary rock songs.
It sagged for me on side two, dragging the rating down, pumped with filler, but for 80s synth laden/electric drums guitar power pop? Pretty good stuff.
