No, I'm wishing it was much more. I was just calculating.

Let's hope he's wrong and maybe we'll be pleasantly surprised.
I cringed a bit when I read that, too. IMW is OK, but as the lead single, Christine should really be singing on it. Otherwise, it sounds like a Lindsey solo track. This whole project is supposed to be their a-ha moment around their musical chemistry.

I love all of their past collaborations, so I'm hoping to be pleasantly surprised too.

Yeah this is the anti-review. It hurts rather than helps even though it's positive.

Family Man is a brilliant track if you strip the cheezy lyrics and corny chorus. If you stripped all vocals from every track on Tango, Family Man would be one of the best if not the best track on Tango. IMHO lyrics are not usually Lindsey's strength. Amazing guitar playing on Family Man and I feel bad the song gets trashed because the track musically is really good.

I love everything about it.

I hate the music in Family Man as much as the lyrics, etc. If the critic thought Family Man was the best song on Tango, I'm even more bummed now. On the other hand, music is subjective, so I'm still optimistic...

The music really moves me. I wish they would have extended the guitar. It's sublime.

Nothing wrong with you. We have a picky bunch. And I love IMW and FM.

I don't hate Family man AT ALL. Love the mx but it's just not the best song on the album. So i was merely pointing out the In My World (as much as I like it) might not be the best on the album. I want more.

Thanks xhector!

Has anyone by chance converted this file to something that can be played on a Mac?
