Okay, but too depressing

Review Score: (6/10)
This is not a bad album--not at all. It's just a little slow and a little depressing. "Both Sides Of The Story" is a nice song, but haven't we heard enough on the topic of the less fortunate from Phil both solo and with Genesis ("Man On The Corner", "Another Day In Paradise", "Tell Me Why")? "Everyday" is a sweet hit, and "Can't Find My Way" is an interestingly moody song. None of the songs on here are terrible; but to me the mood is just too somber. Combining this with an overall lack of catchy tunes makes this a little short of Phil's previous efforts. Still a good enough effort to call 3 1/2 stars overall.
