I bought this CD on the strength of NDV's performances with Messrs Gilbert and Keneally.I have to say it is the most disappointing CD purchase I have ever made. Banal lyrics coupled with the fact that the music peaks at mediocre means that you'll be crawling up the walls with embarrassment by the end, oh but wait, it gets worse, there's a hidden track..... please! "Dream in Red" is a forgivable 4 or 5 minutes but generally NDV's vocals are strained and tuneless and mixed so badly you have to turn the volume down until you can't here the backing track. Not even the great Mike Keneally and Bryan Beller can retreive any excitement or originality (although MK's playing is inspiring as usual).Don't waste you're money, NDV should stay behind the drum kit in someone elses band.It only gets one star because you can't give zero stars.
