After not being able to resist repeat listens of their self-titled debut and all the related singles from the time, this was indeed a letdown.

Songwriting is corny, the guitars are great, the grooves are alright but kind of corny, too…honestly kind of makes me wish I was listening to Red Hot Chili Peppers, or Actung Baby, or The Rolling Stones, or, as referenced above, their own first album and singles.

“Your Star Will Shine” is pretty good, though.

Okay, “Begging You” is solid and interesting.

Does this album bare any resemblance to Guns n’ Roses? Anything beyond the same time period, the presence of guitar solos, and that both band names have ‘Roses’ in them? I’ve never actually listened to Guns n' Roses knowingly…but maybe I should?
