So I've been listening to this album since approximately tuesday morning when it was released. And for me at least, this is a darker album than their previous efforts, and there is something less, I don't know, juvenile than their previous albums. Perhaps it's the subject matter because to my ear, there are more than a couple of tracks that deal with the loss of Steve Page. There are a couple of album standouts to my ear, namely:
- Summertime
- Every Subway Car
- Golden Boy
- All in Good Time
There are other good tracks, "You Run Away" appears to be explicitly about the relationship with Steve. In the end, much like the way I still loved Fleetwood Mac even w/o various members as that band has evolved over the years, I still love BNL, I just think that they're stronger together than they are apart. Good album.
Rating: B
