While this is a less than average Jack Bruce album, it is still not a bad album. Bruce's bass playing is exceptional as usual, but the songwriting here is not up to his usual standards. Straight ahead rock songs, like Willpower seem to be not very well thought out. Criminality is a not very inspired piece of 1980's hip hop.

On the plus side, Peaces Of East is a cool, funky middle eastern flavored romp, with good synths and percussion. Childsong is a nice jazzy tune. So there are some interesting tracks to make this disk worthwhile, but you would expect more fire from an album that includes Eric Clapton, Bruce & Walt Fowler and Ray Gomez.

And only forthy minutes of music on an album released in the CD age? Come on!
