Wow. I'm definitely in the minority. Been a fan since 1995, and have loved every album upon 1st listen. Listened to this straight through on the way to work this morning and I was bored. I felt like I've heard every track before on a previous release, but done better. Caught In The Storm isn't bad, but other than that, I don't currently see the need to add any specific song to my GGD playlist, and that is a MAJOR bummer for me. Next to Bon Jovi, I've seen no other group as many times as them (25+ times). Johnny can do upbeat well (Hate This Place, Falling Down, Dizzy, Slide), but where he shines as a singer and songwriter are his moody, haunting songs. This record lacks that. I would definitely rank this below Dizzy, SSCW, ABNG, Let Love In, Gutterflower and Something For The Rest Of Us. Granted, it's only been 1 full listen, but I fell in love with their other records immediately. Just not feeling it with this one.
