7th album
#5 here, #6 UK
follow up to their best selling Breakfast In America
a hard act to follow
but I expected better than this
5 singles but only the weak It's Raining Again got any traction
doesn't get good for me till the last 2 tracks
Hodgson left the band after this one
quote from wiki: "Hodgson later said that he regrets recording the album, calling it "a last-ditch attempt to try and make things happen" after the life had gone out of the band."
or in my words, they tapped out
which is usually what happens to good artists
we all know the exceptions
