Power Soul and Surreality

Review Score: (8/10)
This disc is really two sets.

The first half of the disc - and I miss saying Side 1 - are note-for-note so of GP's most solid writing. Great pop tunes from the anti-pop himself - especially Little Miss Understanding, My Love's Strong, Call Me Your Doctor, and Dancing For Money.

The second half (the surreal side) is one long is a hodge-podge of short, short songs woven together dealing with the headlines, AIDS, et. al. It won't appeal to everyone all the time. The only weak track in this group is I Was Wrong.

I think if the momentum of the first six or seven tracks had been carried though to the whole disc, it could have bene big. But, that, in a nutshell, is a summary of GP's often brilliant career.

• One of the greatest "albums" ever by anyone.
• A Fine Yet Uncharacteristic Offering
• Almost as classic as his first two
• Two sides
