This, the 4th album from ARS, began to find it's way towards the typical ARS-sound that the band would be known for. There are some okey songs here but it's an very uneven album. Some songs just ain't good and all songs could have been so much better. The keyboardsound is very much Supertramp-style. Their sound was a mix of soulish, even poppy at times, mixed with soft southern rock.

1)Crazy times (6,5) Soft rock with a soulful chorus.

2)Boogie smoogie (7,5) An 8-minute story about rough days in Jacksonville. First slow boogie and then they rock the last 4 minutes. Must be great live!

3)Cuban crisis (4,5) Some kind of calypso-softrock. Not very good.

4)It just ain't your moon (6,0) More 10 CC than southern rock, but that's just ARS.

5)Dog days (7,0) First a beautiful ballad and then chaos at the end. Why did they destroy an otherwise good song?

6)Bless my soul (4,0) A rather boring instrumental.

7)Silent treatment (6,0) An okey southern rock-song but there's something missing in the songs. The guitarplaying in this one is not very good.

8)All night rain (5,5) An a-capellaballad.

Score: 5,63
