long-term fans, get it; newcomers, get the others first.

Review Score: (4/10)
I've been a major fan of Alan Parsons since first catching hold of "Tales," twenty-some years ago. In the post-Woolfson era, Parsons has shown that he can still manage the big ideas, the big songs, and, of course, the big production that makes his projects so wonderful. I think of the anguish in "Oh Life (There Must be More)" from "Try Anything Once" or the beautifully executed album "On Air." This latest disc, however, does not spin so well for me. I am willing to say that perhaps Alan (or Ian, as the case may be) is going for subtlety here, but this whole album strikes me as music to fall asleep to. When I want Enya, I'll get Enya. I want Alan Parsons music! That said, the production is, of course, impeccable, and there are moments when one can glimpse the former glories of Alan's musical output. Long-term fans must get this album. Newcomers should steer clear until they have digested the rest of the catalog.
