Wow- some surprisingly negative reviews here.I've listened six or seven times and, other than the "Robert Johnson" song which is so-so but goes on way too long,or the boring Dylan cover which I skip, it's great. Yes, quite a somber mood overall, but lots of great stuff here and beautifully done. I do miss the harmonies and more pop oriented stuff because these guys can do anything, but I guess they just weren't feeling it. A shiny pop song or two would feel out of place here anyway, the mood is quite consistent. To put it in 60's terms, more like the Animals than the Hollies.Anyway, I love it and recommend it.
