3.0 out of 5 stars Not bad at all...Just different!, January 19, 2000

This CD is not as bad as some claim. They had just lost two of the four members, and they went in a new direction. This CD does grow on you! I have been a fan for long time and agree that it is not their best work, but it is true Level 42 all the way. Buy it and give this CD the chance it deserves!

4.0 out of 5 stars Mellowed out Level 42, September 23, 1999

I love this cd! It is very hard to find, but the music stays etched in my mind and it also proves that Level 42 can hold it's own no matter who leaves the band. Level 42's style of music is very different than most but the band members pour their heart and soul in every note.

I, too, do not understand why some have panned this album. It is excellent by any standards, including Level 42's very high one. I agree that it is an "acquired taste" and takes time to grow on you. In my case, it took about 10 years for that to happen. I dug it up a few weeks ago and found myself thinking it was just a superb album. Up until that time, I saw it as a good, albeit unspectacular Level 42 album. Now I can say it is just plain good. The songs "Man," "Take a Look" and "Staring at the Sun" are among a few of the songs that need time to sink in. Highly recommended if you can find it.
