From the opening chords of this album, there is a feeling that Isaak is going through the motions. The incredible power and simplicity of "Forever Blue," and the laid-back rock style of "Speak of the Devil" have been replaced by insincere attempts to get chart recognition, and Isaak's usually perfect instrumentation is blurred together in a mass of over-production. In addition, there doesn't seem to be anything new here, as most of the tunes and chord progressions have been used by him before. This album certainly isn't awful, but it's a surprisingly mediocre album from a musician who has, until now, always been sincere and original.
