Tracks:
1. Music was saved 2:59
A Good and energetic start with positive lirycs marked by the rhythm of the bass and the particular metric. The guitar is the jewel of the song that travels through the chorus. All right.
2. Fidelity 2:22
While Starsailor achieved a good effect of melancholy in his first album with this song everything became different in that feeling going smoothly through the electric guitar and vocals. The band is always giving importance to clean keyboards and exploiting in the end with a good transitions but it’s a very short song and with some lack of strength. However it’s definitely a rock song that we will miss it in the rest of the album. All Right.
3. Some of us 3:37
Everything goes correctly without being especially good. The two introductory songs reflect an interest in be closer to nice pop song arrangements. However it is with Some of Us where things are back in the place that it should never have left. It is the return of the main axes of the band, the identity that led them to success, and rightly so. A great acoustic guitar from Walsh with his distinctive voice and piano companion that becomes Debussy. Following the entry of the bass, and a delicious rhythm for the choristers and for us. The melancholy is working between arrangement for rhythm guitar and piano silences. Walsh is more singer than musician and that feeling it’s clearer than before with the feelings in him, closing with the atmosphere of the organ, and the two guitars. Magic.
4. Silence Is Easy 3:40
This is the Phil Spector song that became in a much hit song of his time, remarkably like a Robbie Williams songs and a mixture of Oasis. The tempo it is extremely marked for the sing of Walsh and the good opportunity of relief and strength in his voice. More sounds are integrated with the passage of the song in the tremendous keyboards, and then piano, then string, then the guitar jingle that always repeats itself, at the end two synthetic choirs are introduced. The song could go to infinity. It is quite a hit and the smell of it will not be ever removed. Very good.
5. Telling them 4:51
A Ballad to the letter based on the melodic guitar from Walsh, a soft piano in the background, and a strong presence of symphonic arrangements of strings, violins, cellos and a somewhat angelic keyboard atmosphere . It's a song that explodes really well after a perfect change in the phrase: By the book or by the gun there's fear inside of everyone. The credit falls in the string arrangements. Very good.
6. Food Shark 3:35
Harmonious sound too synthetic and in some parts really boring turning it in a repetitive song in the first half with a bad console Bit. The rhythm guitar is not as effective. Again they are making arrangements and arrangements that lost a lot of strength. The shift to electric rock guitar, bass and drums is spectacular and rescues or more a song that almost drowned. Good.
7. Bring my love 2:20
Another ballad that shines by a good composition and great metric of the lyrics. Further back you feel a good presence of strings and symphonic arrangements, while Walsh sings. But here is a dangerous departure from traditional rock because the song its interested in melody that resulting in anend too short. It is practically Telling Them volume 2.
8. White dove 4:11
Ugh. Too depressed and in a tone of voice that is not right to Walsh. The cello it’s too simple and repetitive. Scale changes in the choir do not work. A bad song.
9. Four to the floor 4:13
A good funky melody by a simple bass. Spectacular symphonic arrangements on a sticky and even some danceable chorus. Is a song that is enjoyed in all its segments even in the middle of congas or piano and the rhythm shared with the voice. It was a hit song that you will not forget easily. The keyboards stand again in a grand finale. Very good.
10. Born Again 6:03
The jewel in the crown and also the best song on the album. Like Some of Us, this is a song that brings us back the axes of the band: the acoustic guitar that both lacks in the rest of the songs accompanied by the perfect tone of Walsh with a great lyric that traveling with piano.
Then enter drums and melodic guitar. The bass whose presence is noticed and a chorus that grows in happiness and brightness when cello enter in the song with awesome magic. A well understood melancholy connects with the listener. Air gospel choirs with organ at the end. A memorable melody of the cello that fluttering everywhere. An energetic final part that manages to exploit. I was born again, I was born again. Magic.
11. Restless Heart 2:03
Nice and light, great piano companionship, a delicate and soft closing. All right.
Final Words:
The album has a lack of firepower Rock, due to a production that moves away from the traditional genre and can reach sound too composed symphonic and string arrangements highly overproduced. It's also a change too strong compared to the first album leaving aside their identity in acoustic guitar and melancholic lyrics in some tracks. However Starsailor shows sensitivity, they make strong and beautiful ballads in comforting feelings. The Voice, the acoustic guitar and keyboards are the pillars of an emotional band.
