I still enjoy the album as a whole. The songs are good generally; the main thing that lets it down for me is the production - it's a muddy mess to my ears.
Forget what I said about Backseat Driver, just listened again after reading your comment (it was unchecked in iTunes), and it's indeed quite good.

Production is a bit messy indeed, and I wonder if - based on some of the songs and lyrics - that was the beginning of the split. A lot of the content seems (to me at least) that Richie was indeed fed up with the state of the band, the life away from family etc.
