Sweet is able to accomplish what he wants, but it does come at a cost. The cost is he abandons hooks and melodies for creating this odd mash of 60's sound that runs through every song. On a few songs, like "Baltimore" he's able to pull out of the 60's mire, but that song sounds more 70's power pop than 60's mash up and so in a way it doesn't fit with the rest of the album.
If you want to fall back to the 60's then give this a listen. It's an interesting and you may find that it resonates with you, it did not with me.
Following the Rhapsody rating method I give it 1 out of 5 stars for Just OK.
What a curious idea coming from a guy who knows how to create hooks and melodies.
