This is Rics sophomore solo effort. I did the first one back a little in this thread. When I pulled this one out, I thought, it has to be better than that last one. Just barely, by one tenth of a point. I guess this Cars electronic sound was starting to wear out for me around this period. Love most of the Cars stuff, and this is obviously Cars sounding. Hell, all of the other members of the Cars show up on this album, with Hawkes on the entire album. For me Rics well had run dry by this point, and I dropped him from my "must hear the next album" list. Not that all the songs are bad here. There are more good than bad, but nothing would ever make my heavy play list. The single off here of Emotion In Motion went to #15 on the charts here. It never worked for me. Another single of True To You was released, but #75 was the best it could do. The album peaked at #52. No clip for my fav of course.
