1 stars I can't be called a die-hard APP fan. I moderately appreciated their first two albums and it is almost logical that I am not praising this one.

Electro-pop-disco music, superbly produced and played for sure, but it still remains what it is. Easy listening stuff with little to no flavour. If you believe that the opener is a mistake, you are wrong. It is a good indication of what's coming next (although it is the best track from this album).

I wish the eve would never show up while listening to this album. Unless you appreciated ''Saturday Night Fever'', there is no reason to like a track like ''You Lie''. But actually, there is no reason to like this album. Period.

Most songs are on the weak side, and I can't find any prog in here. Synths maybe? But when coupled with these unbearable electro beats, I just feel nausea. The same ''Bee Gees'' feel can be ''experienced'' during the weak and syrupy ballad ''You Won't Be There''. Definitely, I won't?

It is a useless exercise to find any other good track in this album. It is a huge ''press next'' effort. The best has been heard with the opening number and the rest is mostly poor music. Some sort of second rate ELO from the eighties: do you see what I mean?

If ever you are into disco music, you might find this album intersting. I don't. And for me it isn't worth a ? cent. Since I can't go lower than one star, this is the verdict (''Secret Garden'' is OK though).
