() Mick soldiers on but bad chemistry prevails. Review written by haydenj01@aol.com (haydenj01@aol.com) from Cleveland, Ohio, August 15th, 2004 To his credit, Mick's attempt's to keep the FM banner flying were laudable, but at this juncture it seems the "band collective" just plain ran out of ideas. Where were the tunes? Billy Burnette's "Talkin' To My Heart" is a credible and catchy opening salvo. From there it's downhill. Somehow the stellar production work and innate musicianship of the band can't seem to provide the proper foundation for the rest of the material. Weak melodies from most of the contribuitors don't help. A thoroughly baffeling effort, but one which at least was able to keep Mick, John and Christine still together in some semblance of a team. My least favorite album in an otherwise stellar career. Hey, every band is entitled to one turkey! For "completists" only. | |
