Add your review here. Smooth sound hurt by weak hooks Review written by John Fitzgerald, February 2nd, 2005 Billy is listed as doing vocals on this album but it doesn't say which song(s) he's on though I think I hear him on at least a few like the rather forgettable cover of the fab four's "Drive my car" and the OK mid tempo pop/rock of "Always time". Rick is listed as specifically playing lead & rhythm guitar on "I can feel it" and there are some good sounding echoy solos from Vito enclosed but the song itself doesn't have any great hook to speak of and I found that this is the main problem with this album in general is that it does sound good with it's smooth Newman vocals and silky keyboards and clean electric guitars for the most part but I found many songs just didn't have hooks that grabbed my interest like the tough stroll of "God only knows", the rocking "Whisper", "Gone are the days" with it's smooth verses and jangly choruses but didn't get my attention and the bland acoustic closer "It takes time" but there are some better moments like the fair punchy opener "Love gets rough", the album's best track which is the sensitive balladish "Raining" with it's proper piano touches and the "better than average" mid tempo tune called "So deep" and Troy impressively took part in writing every song here (except DMC of course) so he gets points for trying but to me these songs themselves sound more like what could have been the rejects as opposed to the ones chosen for inclusion.
