When the first couple of tracks included the lyric “beat your meat” and meowing, I nearly wrote this off as a batshit, 1-star listen that I would let in one ear and out the other. Then Kenny Loggins and Michael McDonald came to save the day. The following batch of tracks had great guest stars, tight grooves - and no more ridiculous lyrics. Despite the album picking up in the middle, I felt, as it got towards the end, it just became a bit dull. I was almost longing for more silly lyrics to at least make me react somehow. An excellent grasp of my rule of “keep songs under four minutes” though.
