Still on the fence about this one. On one hand, I don't consider it a comeback by any means, as it's just okay without any real standouts when you look at Blackmore's Night's discography. On the other hand, it's enjoyable without embarrassing moments and easy to listen. The instrumentation is simpler than previous LPs, but once again, Blackmore's ability to craft great melodies is apparent. Anyway, I don't see myself jamming the entire album more that just a few times in the future, but much respect to Ritchie for still writing and releasing good music.
