Reviews"...here we meet Mike Scott as Bob Dylan, circa BLOOD ON THE TRACKS. The odd thing is, it works. Strip him down to instrumental basics, let him put in a bunch of passionate lyrics, often quite autobiographical, and you've got a very good album, the best new thing he's released in a long, long, long time...", "...an intimate, sincere album of personal revelations....each song here is a rare study in economy...these songs send shivers..."
It's AWFUL! The first three Waterboys still soar, still sound as fresh as they were made; the two Irish ones, well be played em to death and they are a bit kitchy now; but this is simply awful: awful, uninspired lyics and uninspired production.
