More importantly, the songwriting is better this time around, with sharp hooks that draw blood once they grab on.
-
As it is, Now or Heaven is good enough but too derivative and uneven to be seen as anything other than a mild disappointment.
-
There are some strong moments, especially 'Gwen, Now And then,' 'Auctioneer,' and 'Perfect Game,' but those high points are surrounded largely by filler. [Fall 2008, p.79]
