2/5.02/5.02/5.02/5.02/5.0
The hard rock spirit is a little watered down
Review written by John Fitzgerald, May 31st, 2005

Bob Welch is listed as vocals and guitars on the record but it doesn't say on which songs he's on. This doesn't help differentiate the sound of many songs enclosed in this offering as most of the numbers have heavy guitars but strong synth style keyboards which mute the desired effect somewhat. There are some surprising ballads such as "All over the world" & "Nature's way" but it seems the songs that were intended to have the most impact don't and vice versa. So, the closer, a reworking of their apparent classic "I got a line on you" has some stinging guitar but as this is far longer than the other songs on the record, it leaves one wondering why they bothered. It's rather repetitive at the end and it would have been more successful had it included an extended solo from the good sounding guitars and would've been an easier arrangement to boot. The next longest song, "Mechanical world" to me worked the best. This just cements my feeling of the best is not necessarily what they think it will be.
