Jim Reid was never much of a singer but usually they had enough distortion to cover it up. On this new release, not so much. Discotheque is a pain to get through. The rest gets a passing grade, even though a new J&MC album isn’t exactly what the world needed.
They’re back with a lot of new found energy, while still sounding like old timers who aren’t really interested in evolving. I find myself enjoying a couple of songs but overall it’s not an album I would deem necessary in this day and age. Sounds like great fan service, though!
Stand out tracks: “React, Respond” & “Waiting For Stevie”
Au usual with this guy, it’s not great but not exactly bad either. Just keep wondering who the target audience is for these mellow and slightly pointless muzak sound bites?
Stand out tracks: “Best For You And Me” & “I Just Want To Wake Up With You”
