This CD is interesting. It's like soft rock and AOR combined. Kind of reminds me of a different take on early 80's Genesis, especially their self titled album. That one wasn't as laid back as this stuff here is, so it managed to catch people's attn better, but when you consider songs like "Taking It All Too Hard" and "It's Going To Get Better", along with random hodgepodge like "Illegal Alien" and "Silver Rainbow", it's got an interesting parallel. Nothing on this album has the pounding drum machine heard on the bulk of "Silver Rainbow", or the dynamic rhythm of "It's Going To Get Better".
The song "African And White", I've read, was released as a single and it did sorta OK, but not well enough for anyone you talk to at random to have heard it, and even those who did probably don't remember it. That particular song is probably the most dynamic driving song on here. But even that one has this just ridiculously laid back feel, that most people in this day n' age just don't want in their music, regardless of whether it's straight up rock or pop.
Aanyway.
Was doing great on my The Bible reading for about a week or so. Then just started letting time slip by right before my eyes yet again. Need to get back into the spirit(!). RISE!
Ok, guess that's all. There was something I'd throught to write awhile back, a few days ago?, but I don't remember what it is.
