Rabin makes a much better sideman than a leader. His guitar playing is skilled in all the gratuitous effects-laden noodley-doodley mush typical of the 80s era of big hair bands, and that guitar style is definitely not to my liking. Unfortunately, that's the HIGH point of this disc. His bass playing sucks, his lyrics suck, his vocals are bland, and the drum beats are boring. This came out in 1989, the same year as "Doolittle" by the Pixies, the album that would influence "Nevermind" by Nirvana which in turn would KILL 80s hair band mania once and for all. "Can't Look Away" has Rabin sounding caught off guard in the context of the times, like he's been listening to Journey's "Escape" every day for the past 8 years. Should be titled "Can't Look Ahead."
