missing their normal magic

Review Score: (8/10)
Personally, I love this album, but it is not up to par with their prior outings, Amorica and Southern Harmony, although both are a tough act to follow. The band was in turmoil for this one. Interviews with some members indicated that Marc Ford appeared only sparingly for the recording because of personal problems. However, the album is consistently strong with some great tunes. How Much for your wings, Let me share the ride, good friday, evil eye, and Nebakhanezer make this album a great listen. This album, whose songs aren't played live much anymore, made for great live performances at the time the band was touring. Better when your not alone sounds kinda lovey dovey, but I heard them open with it in concert and have loved it ever since. Great lyrics and some really original tunes (i.e. evil eye, nebak., and wings). Only thing missing is a consistently strong lead guitar which prior recordings had.
