SOFT VENGEANCE

This one has low ratings but it's not that bad really, as long as you accept the overproduced AOR nature of the music. A bit like Mike [Rutherford] And The Mechanics, perhaps? It is far less progressive than, say, Roaring Silence, but not without certain originality that rises it high above the mass of 80's/90's American-style pop. There are some interesting little keyboard- oriented instrumentals, and worth mentioning is the pair of 'Wherever Love Drops' with a hilarious story about a tiny dwarf succesful with women. Vocalist Chris Thompson is in a good shape here. Excuse the most commercial tracks and enjoy this album without prejudices, not expecting anything very progressive.
