Pros:
Voice leading is generally impassioned and strong, adapting across the tracklist well and being bolstered by higher chorus moments
A fairly consistent listen front-to-back, providing a passable array of hard rock songs as well as more soothing balladry
Cons:
Production is incredibly stale and dull, sucking the life from many more energetic passages and dialling in some of the blandest guitar tones imaginable
Songwriting is so safe, formulaic and vapid as to be instantaneously forgotten, failing to integrate many particularly catchy hooks and groovy riffs
Lead guitar performance is unbelievably lazy and by-the-numbers, with the solos comprised mostly of single note bends and some stock pentatonic licks
Best: In The Heat Of The Night
Worst: So Sincere
3/10 An enigma
