Kind of a weird, unfocused mish-mash, but it has some worthwhile moments. The biggest problem with this album is that it lack unity: the classic JA sounded like a unified band even when doing the various members' different styles of songs. This one sounds more like a collection of solo songs with the other members overdubbing. Jorma's guitar helps keep things together, but Jack's bass is sadly too quiet here, which makes it sound less like the classic JA than it would otherwise. During some moments, especially 'Planes,' the band's sound comes together, but those are the exceptions. Balin's stuff also sounds really lite--almost like Starship with Balin singing instead of Micky Thomas! Fortunately, Grace and Jorma's songs are pretty good, even if they sound more like solo efforts. Worthwhile if you're a big fan, but otherwise, go for their classic late 60's stuff.
