Have been a a fan since Continuum. I have loved and hated some of the works after that album. Grown to like some others eventually. There is not question that JM work has a growing ability on you! I guess I am not a big fan of Pop music as such. John is a fantastic guitar player but as always he underplays here again and concentrates on song writing. This album, for me has a bit too many ballad-ee type songs. And not great ones. But it also has a few gems like: Still Feel Like Your Man, Love On The Weekend, Helpless, Moving On & Getting Over. Rosie is not bad either.
However I still am waiting for John's guitar playing to take more of a prominance. I thought I heard him say in an interview that he has nothing to prove and would go all out down the Blues route but this is yet another Pop outing. Good but not what I'm waiting for. It will come, I'm sure of it :o)
