"Brawny guitar riffs a-plenty"! (Score:0)

Except for the Guardian and All Music reviews, these are pretty hopeless. Not particularly well-written, little insight.

"Unsurprisingly, there are also several tracks that hark back to the “Golden Age of Pop"". Huh? Still, at least we now know that YOR features "brawny guitar riffs a-plenty".

Nick Kent, where are you?!

Does anyone think that several of the songs should not have made it on to the album? Tracks 1-5 are good. I would have liked Mama to have been a bit longer. Apart from the music, When last I spoke to Carol left me rather cold as did the remainder of the album apart from Sorry doesn't help. I just feel that he is treading water lyrically on many of the songs which is a tremendous pity.
