Go on do yourself a favor, and buy this CD. I was waiting for this one and I agree that it is the second coming of "Strangeways". But it comes with maturity, and much more of a sense of what Strangeways are, and that is "Damn fine musicians". The new songs are great, and it is good to see the return of Dave Stewart (Alright Div..LOL) back in the line up!
It is different from Native Sons and Walk In The Fire, as it should be, because those albums were twenty years ago !! So for your money, you just get a superb mature AOR album, that is worthy of any collection, and definitely gets better the more you listen. Go on, do it, hit that button and buy this, you won't regret it.
