In retrospect..

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This might just be one of the very best albums of the 1990's. Kevin Griffin's opus, BTE's genius.



My fav's:



At The Stars. One of my FAVORITE BTE songs of alltime. Just a great melody and excellent lyrics that place you into the song.



Beautiful Mistake. Excellent song about lost love that has been found, but with the ever present BTE exception. The song is real, and it sticks with you. I ignored it, even after buyinng this as a cassette on the Tuesday it was realeased until seeing it live last November. My mistake.



One more Murder. Good song. It really made a lot of sense in 1997 when New Orleans was the murder capital of the US. Good social comment without being preachy.



Waxing or Waning. This is an absolute gem of a song. It is an emotion that you sing along with. Excellent track, one of Kevin's best ever. I never get tired of it.



The rest of the tracks to varying degrees are good to very good. The key is they all fit and ANY of them could be released TODAY and sound just like they belong on the radio in 2006.



You can always tell if you meet an idiot by asking them their opion on this album. If they say "I didnt get it", then they are an idiot. Plain and simple, this one's for the thinking crowd."
