This record is terrible; I adore this band, but they were clearly slip sloping downwards. Time-Line their eleventh pop-oriented studio album.

They started slowly steeply downwards starting with the two albums before this one. The only two good things are, the first one being her voice sounding fine on the record. The album cover is the second positive aspect of this release which is basically 80s new wave hair style.

The massive orchestral arrangements, the majestic keyboard supporting her magnificent singing, baroque sort of stuff, acoustic guitars are just not there, this is everything you liked about Renaissance. This is basically pretty terrible early 1980s synth-pop, which isn't what Renaissance is known for. Furthermore, the synth arrangements aren't great either, and all the other instruments are awash which is not what you expect from Renaissance.

0.5/5 at most and there is nothing to review anyway except Annie's voice.
