Finally got around to this eighth album from the band. Like The Carpenter it will have to grow on me and I'm sure it will. Only one track I can say I loved on a first listen. But there were a few more on the edge and there was nothing I didn't like so I'm sure just a few more spins is all it would take. A few more instruments have creeped into the bands work and I don't think that's a good thing. As long as they don't go electronic on me I will love this band. They have stuck with Rick Rubin as producer and the songs here were recorded during the same sessions as The Carpenter. So if you liked that one there is no reason you shouldn't like this one. Another Is Waiting is the only single listed and I don't see where it charted here. The album debuted at #5 showing the band has built a following. No clip for my only love track.
