Review by Gary Hill
This album is quite good. It isn’t without its issues, though. For one thing, the vocals aren’t always stellar. That’s not really a problem, though. The biggest issue to me is that this is a case where less would have been more. There are a few songs here that are just sort of also-rans. They are all bunched together at the end. Perhaps a better option would have been separating them at earlier points on the disc. I actually think, though, this would have worked better if they were left off the disc altogether. Either way, though, you can’t complain about the first batch of songs. They are great.
