For me, this is the weakest of their 80's albums. Discipline and Three of a perfect pair have more freshness, boldness. Beat bores me. The other two albums excite me.

There's the usual musical craftmanship, sure. But the songwriting is lacking.

Neal And Jack And Me - I heard this before on Discipline, and better 6/10

Heartbeat - Sounds very much like 80's AOR rock. I hate it. 4/10

Sartori In Tangier - Ingenious instrumental 7/10

Waiting Man - The craftmanship of the musicians saves this number 7/10

Neurotica - They are going wild here. I like that fact, but it is hardly a song 7/10

Two Hands - Not too bad, this ballad. 7/10

The Howler - Rather forgettable 5/10

Requiem - Improv number with some great Frippertronics 8/10

This album gets 2 stars from me. Only for KC fans who wish to hear all albums.
