Aftermath of The Lowdown, 6 years later
First, sorry for starting a new thread, I can't find the one dedicated to the album.
So I've been listening a lot to Richie's first three solo albums lately.
I'm not a big fan of what he does under the RSO banner, but I love his previous albums.
Now, AOTL if I remember correctly was received with mixed feelings right? Has this opinion changed the past 6 years?
The only stain on it is, in my opinion, the dreadful 'Sugar Daddy' and the bonus track 'Backseat Driver'.
but there are some gems in there, like 'Weathering the Storm' (besides that horrendous "shelter, food and sex" lyric), Seven Years Gone obviously, Learning "How to Fly With a Broken Wing" that (again in my opinion) rocks way more than anything from the Bon Jovi of the last decade.
What do you think?
