Avoid this album at all costs. It's an unbelievably appalling set of bland, embarassing MOR. Every track is the same - boring keyboard riff, drum beat, saxophone and a few guitars here and there. The worst culprit of all is Out On The Range which is overlong while being bland. His croonings about "the first time we made love" on Remembering the First Time are so embarassing. Hillside Avenue is hideous - he tries to do reggae with apalling results. Never Never Love, Lives and Loves and So Many People are just bland.There is one classic track, however - Fairground. For once it isn't MOR. The beat and keyboards are really upbeat and danceable unlike the rest of the album. The chorus soars like Stars.Overall, this is a one song album. It is unbelievable that this is the follow up to Stars - the third best selling album in Britain ever. Stars is a classic but this is just apalling.
