Yet another underrated Rick effort

Review Score: (10/10)
Does anyone else remember the slyly humorous video for "Dance This World Away"? It's a valid question, as most of "Tao" deals with such deadly serious subject matter. On "Written in Rock" and "Walk Like a Man" Rick continues the introspective, self-critical trend he started with Living in Oz's "Can't Stop Hurting You" by shining a harsh lyrical light on his own shortcomings. "Celebrate Youth" is a joy to hear, and even the potentially somber subject of nuclear war yields aural pleasure in "Walking on the Edge". In summary, it's a true crime that "Tao" wasn't even mentioned in VH1's "Behind the Music" on Rick Springfield. Maybe we can understand "Wait for Night" getting the gloss-over, but "Tao" deserved some lip service.
