Stand[s] alongside Something to Remember Me By as his strongest album.
-
The songs, engaging as they are, sound cursory, as though Lee wrote them while riding the bus on his way to the studio, staring at his watch and an empty notebook.
-
Contrary to what its title might imply, there's really not a whole lotta "new" goin' on here.
