I don't mind Clapton making a pop record and I don't necessarily mind 80's pop (hey, I liked the Pet Shop Boys), but this is just terrible. Clapton is great, but you'd never guess from listening to this trainwreck of an album.I can only stand three of the songs, "Holy Mother", "Behind The Mask" and the duet with Tina Turner. I'm not sure if these songs are actually good or if they only seem good because everything else may be the worst music ever committed to tape by a major artist. The scary thing is I've heard that "Pilgrim" is even worse.Please forget about this one. Go buy "Layla" or "461 Ocean Boulevard" instead. Or maybe something by the Pet Shop Boys.
