In all, the positive outweighs the negative, and this album is a reasonable follow up.
Overall, this album is striking; however, it’s not stunning. And while the band have clearly made an effort to amble down new paths, they continue to do so through the soul and sound of one man.
The entire sound of the album is something of an easy listening masterpiece – which is kind of really an oxymoron of sorts.
