Phil is kickin'!

Review Score: (8/10)
Phil really knows how to kick his own tunes, and this is the CD to prove it! He's got this thing packed a myriad of catchy lyrics, from "And me, I'm getting stronger by the minute/ My wife's expecting, but I hope she can wait" (The Roof Is Leaking) to "I never ever did believe in a second chance/ You get, just one crack of the whip, that's all" (Thunder and Lighting) and the well-known "So you can wipe off the grin, I know where you've been/It's all been a pack of lies" (In The Air Tonight). Phil's a master with lyrics and he always works well with putting words and music together.
All in all, a pretty successful first.
