Pope fans rejoice

"PFR fans eager to see if Patrick Andrew could carry on the great tradition will likely be disappointed as this CD does not blaze new trails. However, Greg Pope fans who remember CDs like "A Really Cool Sunshine" where you can hear a metronone ticking in the background, will be pleasantly surprised with the professional quality of this CD. For example, the remake of "Decide For You" sounds more full and complete with improved backgrounds. This CD has a lot more edge than the Greg Pope Band, but is softer than Apple Green's "Umbrella". In general the CD is a step up for Greg Pope whose lyrics are theologically sound and views of grace are refreshingly simple. The songs written by Patrick Andrew are so deep you have to really listen to them carefully to get their full value. There is a big distinction between the styles of Pope and Andrew which gives the album some variety. However, the predictable guitar solos and sluggish nature of the CD is why I couldn't give it 5 stars."

NOT that BAD

"Well, here you have Patrick Andrew's project after PFR broke up, first of all you'll really miss PFR because Andrew's voice is really similar to Joel's. It has some crunchy guitars like PFR's "pour me out", its a good CD overall, the only bad thing is that its kinda boring, after listening to eager for a few minutes they can make you feel like you listened to that song before."
