I hardly ever give this album any attention. Christine's gone, Lindsey's songs are always my least favorite, and Stevie's voice during this era is just awful.

...I kinda enjoy/like the Time album more than this one.

Granted that it's always a matter of opinion, when FM songs go badly I often think of this quote from Lindsey back in 2004: "Left to my own devices, I would've much rather preferred to be in a group like The Clash."

With all due respect to creativity, The Clash is nothing like FM, and vice-versa. So I think when one tries to combine the two it just turns to mush. There's times for "pushing the envelope" and then there are times to just leave the envelope alone.

I think Stevie sounds OK on this album and, if they'd pared it down to 12 songs, I would have loved it a lot more. I really don't like Lindsey's voice or 3 or 4 of his songs on it.

I'd have:

Murrow
Thrown Down
Miranda
Say You Will
Peacekeeper
Smile At You
Running Through The Garden
Steal Your Heart Away
Bleed to Love Her
Destiny Rules
Say goodbye
Goodbye Baby

I actually would have been OK with that, Christine-less though it may be.
