Your reviews are getting better, I quite enjoyed this one, although I still think you tend to focus on describing the song too much as opposed to analysing it .. sorry, I know that doesn't make much sense, I'm not quite sure how to explain it. It's like, if you look at the review for Church of Desire ... the actual 'review' part is only 2 short sentences

I agree also that you probably need to mention more on Richie's voice ... for example it's his bending of notes on Rosie which lifts it above being ordinary. I also feel you're a bit harsh on Ballad Of Youth ... sure it's a song about youth, but that doesn't make it a 'kids song' ... and it's a storming, passionate rock song IMO, with lyrics that are possibly thematically similar to more typical Bon Jovi songs, but a lot more sophisticated, a compelling vocal performance, and a beast of a riff

I agree with a lot of what you say though, especially about Father Time and The Answer ... both incredible songs

Oh yeah, one major gripe ... no witty thread title this time round?

Keep up the reviewing ... I might write some new reviews soon, I feel that itch to do something coming on
