However, I myself have mixed feelings about the recording. The songs are, in my opinion, some of the strongest in the pre BN songbook. "Prove Your Love" and "Bermuda Triangle," for example, are worth the price of the cd. Still, there's a certain lack of energy there. Chris's vocals on "Prove Your Love" are almost listless; she's almost inaudible on "Come a Little Bit Closer." Many of Bob's tunes sound WAY better on the live Sausalito and Hampstead recordings.

I guess I'd say HHTF is a stronger, more mature recording on paper than Mystery, Future Games, or Bare Trees. It's just the execution of these songs is strangely lacking something...
Thank you!! I was worried I wasnt going to get any replies!
