The third album from this melodic hardrockband from USA. The album consists of pompous, melodic hardrock with big choruses and orchestral arrangements and operalike female singing. It is also influenced by nu-metal and goth rock. Too bad that these influences aren't developed to make good songs. They sound exactly the same and to listen to an whole album with this is just too much. After 3 songs I'm bored and the music goes in in one ear and out through the other. Amazingly the album reached nr.1 on the US Billboard-list. Just another sign of the americans bad taste in music.
1)What you want (7,0) Powerful and melodic short hit-song.
2)Made of stone (7,0) Okey but there's not much happening.
3)The change (6,0) Quite boring. Same slow pace all the time.
4)My heart is broken (5,0) Another one...
5)The other side (6,5) Heavier riff and more power in the vocals but same pace as all song so far.
6)Erase this (6,0)
7)Lost in paradise (5,5) A powerballad that just goes on and on.
8)Sick (6,5)
9)End of the dream (6,5)
10)Oceans (6,0) Same same same...
11)Never go back (6,0)
12)Swimming home (4,0) Cheesy ballad.

8 years into their albumreleasingcareer J. Geils Band released another album worth of rockin' and rollin' songs but this time they took a much calmer and poppier path and not all the songs are top class anymore. It seemes like they went out ...
