Best, most consistent, OMC

"I have most of the Old Man's Child back catalogue. While I like the music I was constantly frustrated with its inconsistency. Each release had some good tracks and some duds. Even within a given song there would be moments of brilliance then a nearly song wrecking interlude. I got the feeling that Galder was not always fully applying himself, similar to Warren Zevon or Prince who could go from genius to dud in three minutes and 28 seconds.



This release release banishes that demon (or summons it, as the case may be)and gives us Galder at the top of his game, stem to stern. The songs have all the best elements of past OMC work without the akward moments. This work posseses a coherence and flow that was lacking in previous releases. This is a start to finish listen disc, which is perhaps the best thing I can say about it. Writing , performance, and production are all top notch. I feel that this is the best OMC release to date and will win them many new fans. Buy it!
