I couldn't wait to buy this album and get it in the stereo and then when I did, I couldn't wait to get it out (thats the CD). I've never described anything as baloney, but compared to the first album baloney is exactly what this is. I think they describe themselves as soft rock and that is pretty apt for the first album, but if this version of soft rock could be pierced by a toddler using a marshmallow. There is one exciting bit of guitar work in it where he does some sweep picking and reveals what I thought from hearing Helicopter on the previous album, this guy is allright. But guitar barely features, its all piano and singing. Its not my cup of tea, its like it's a different band, I don't know what happened. I got the double disc edition of this and the only good things appear on that, a great version of video killed the radio star and interesting versions of their previous songs. That extra CD gets 3 stars but the actual album, only a measly one star.

.... are great!
I had read alot of reviews saying that this was a let down! someone wrote a review saying give it a chance, so i did!

when i listened to it i thought this is not great but i wanted to give it a chance! now i have listened to it more than once, its great to turn up in your car when you are driving

i definitely reccommend it for people who loved their first album and just loves music! it is different from their first album but they have got it right!

definitely buy it if you are unsure!
