4 stars Brilliant Power Pop, Excellent Rock
Okay. First let me say that the lyrics are somewhat . . . basic; but I firmly believe they add a great amount of emotional color, particularly with his delivery, and his voice just keeps getting better. From the opening guitar shucking of "Standing On My Own Again" to the mid-tempo wind-down of "See a Better Day," there are some great effing tunes on this album.
