"The Good
"The Valiant Denial" kicks things off with such an epic introduction that your ears can't wait to absorb what follows. And what follows is a funked-up hard rock and blues explosion. "Steppin' On" is trademark Glenn Hughes soul. The guitar grooves are just as intoxicating. The tempo changes and melody of "Monkey Man" really define the track. "You Got Soul" displays each members unique funk talents on their respective instruments. Hughes is backed-up by a faint acoustic guitar on the sad ballad "Frail." Soft strings are added to elicit more sad emotions. As Glenn's feelings grow, so does the songs energy. The riffs are a little meatier on "Too High" but the soul is still running wild. "This is How I Feel" has a bass heavy Chili Peppers feel to it.
The Bad
Nothing
The Verdict
Glenn Hughes reigns supreme as the king of hard rock, blues, and soul. Each album he puts out is better than the one that preceded it."
