Too much of a good thing?

Review Score: (6/10)
"FACES", EWF's 12th album, reminds me of Fleetwood Mac's "TUSK". Both were double-albums that followed a pair of hugely successful projects, and both seem to suffer, in only in comparison. All the usual things one comes to expect from EWF are here: the sense of joy & wonder, great playing, stunning production. I just don't think the songs stand out as much as on most other albums. "Let Me Talk", "Turn It Into Something Good", "Pride" (what power!) and "You" (another gorgeous love ballad co-written by David Foster, just prior to his "taking over" of the band CHICAGO) are all nice. After that it starts to get a bit lost. Like a number of recent albums on CDs, "FACES" might have been even better than it is with a few tunes left off.
