CD ReviewsWeaker, But Warmer Coincidence Vs Fate | Warwickshire, UK | 05/29/2009 (4 out of 5 stars) ""In Mysterious Ways" was a funny one. Was John at the end of his contract with Virgin at this point? Did he rush this through just to get out and move on? Who knows. As the other reviewer mentioned there are some great tracks on here, particularly the stunning "Stars on Fire", which is one of John's finest compositions in my view.
We shouldn't be too hard on John though, you must remember just how many singles and albums artists (John included) released back in the 80's. There's no way that every single track, album track or b-side was going to be a classic. Despite this being the "weakest" of his 80's trio, it's certainly his warmest, "Enter The Angel II" is a nice little ditty. The second disc IS a little disappointing, it would have been nice to have had the extended versions of "Stars" and "Angel". I would disagree with the other reviewer on one thing though, these tracks are "work in progress" and although not of the top-notch quality of finished material, they're still interesting to hear and I'm pleased they've seen the light of day." |
