FANATIC

Fanatic corrects somewhat for the blandness of the Understand album by adding to its core of long-winded adult- oriented rock elements of arena rock, soul and more spacey Pink Floydisms . The album even starts with a weird western-followed-by-an-evil laugh intro to the rockin' The Great Outside, and even the shorter songs changing gears often. So, while never would they reach the heights of the first two albums, Fanatic is a passable album for Jadis (and it must be noted that even though More that Meets the Eye is their most famous album, the majority of their music is the kind you hear on Understand and Fanatic) - a band that is low on drama, but high on melody.
