    They've captured a sound as tangibly uplifting as pop music gets. The Mavericks are back and indeed, just in time.

    There are no wasted words or melodies, noodling frills or mindless riffs. Everything is present for a reason; to create an effect or sustain a mood.

    To say this album is a return to form wouldn't be quite correct. It's an extension of it.

    This is a much realer album that I expected. It's simple, kind of raw, and to the point. No messing around. I'm hearing bits of various genres being blended together, as that's how it goes these days with progressive artists. Not bad.… Expand

    Sorry, while this effort is okay, the older Mavericks albums were infused with more energy and better songs. I miss the innovative stylings of those records.

    This album contains far too many knock offs of old riffs and songs that just plain sound alike. Born to Be Blue and Come Unto Me are virtually identical aside from the lyrics, and come right after one another on the record.

    In Time contains too many of Raul Malo's slow ballads in the style of Roy Orbison. Nice, but nothing worthy of praise or note. Check out Raul's solo work for more of the same if this is your thing.

    My playlist of Mavericks tunes will remain stuck in the 90's.    … Expand
