John,
The album has at least 3 to 5 really good songs on it. Some of the songs are
more filler-like but it's all interesting with regard to its arrangements,
especially the backing vocal stuff.
To me, Brian sounds better than he has in a while. All in all, it's worth
the buy. I buy a lot of CDs I'm not thrilled with all the way through but
this one is definitely worth my two cents. Just my two cents.
Mike V.
