    Disc one sounds like the band's Desperado years left out in the rain--damp, shrunken and fetid, with songs such as Guilty of the Crime and Fast Company giving out as much spark as a dying novelty lighter.

    The album starts off very strong, with 6 "quality songs" in the first 10 songs. However, disc 2 was terrible.

Out of the 9 songs on disc 2, none of them were a "quality song". In my mind, a quality song is a song that is worth listening to. My rating for this album would be much lower had the first disc not been so good. The songs I recommend listening to are: 2. How Long
    3. Busy Being Fabulous
    5. Guilty of the Crime

    A fantastic double CD that warrants and rewards frequent playing. As good as anything they did 30+ years ago.
