What Are You Listening To?

[Music Head]

from my library (cd)



Their second self titled album. First was their debut. This is 20 years later, the 13th album, and the boys are showing their age. First album after being dropped by the majors. Not as bad as some of the recent ones. Maybe that drop gave them some incentive. Although I always liked the power pop, the lone standout here for me is the only down tempo track of Shelter, which pulls at my heart strings. Do hearts even have strings? Should have asked them to check mine when I had my surgery. The only decent audio clip I could find of that happens to be a stupid homemade video. If you listen, don't watch. This album went to a whopping #99 on the U.S. charts, with the single of Say Goodbye doing nothing.

I LIKE THIS ALBUM

Worst Track - Wrong All Along

Best Track - Shelter

If I had a child
I would shelter it from harm
If I had a child
I would hold it in my arms
If I had a child
I would love it as my own
If I had a home

If I had a mom
I would shelter her from harm
If I had my mother
She would never lose her grace
If I had a mother
She would shelter me from harm
Oh, if I had a mom

If I had a love
I would shelter it from a broken heart
If I had a heart
I'd surrender it to my love

If I had my father
He would smile
If I had my dad
He'd be so kind
If I had a dad
He would tell me I was good
Oh, if I- if I
If I had a dad
Had my dad
