I think the rockier, electric tracks are missing the 'edge' that he is known for. I'm normally such a fan of Neil's electric sound that it was a surprise to me that my favourites were his softer songs. The other acousic track on the record-'Peaceful Valley Boulevard' is probably the other strong point. This was the only track that impressed on my first listen and definitely stands alone. The first real highlight comes midway in the form of the acoustic 'Love And War'. More often than not however, each track is slightly held back, and its urgency is lost. Neil's one of those artists that I often hail as untouchable, but he's put out so many records over the years that they're not all going to be immaculate (in my eyes).Īt times, this album threatens to take off.you hear Neil's raw guitar sound and you're ready to head into a messy, rock-fuelled classic. On first listen of this record I was pretty disappointed.
