Hit and Miss

"For those who remember those great albums of the 1970s - About Us and Traveling Underground, when Ian Lloyd was singer for Stories, this album doesn't really reach the musical heights found there. There is a wide smattering of styles, a little of this, a little of that. Some of the ballad types are pretty nice, and there a few that are good dance tunes, but nothing really sticks in your head after its over. The last track is a redo of the first track of the Traveling Underground album of 1973, done at a more leisurely pace. I'm probably prejudiced, but this is the best track of the CD. If you are a die-hard Ian Lloyd fan, this is an OK album; if you've never heard him before, try Traveling Underground or even better, About Us, both Stories albums."
