A lot of this album sort of reminds me of a more streamlined and polished version of Gene Clark's album 'No Other' with its ambitious take on country-rock fusions. And I really love that album, so, naturally, I enjoyed this. A song like 'Only You Know' is undeniably grand sounding and is one of the many tracks that takes hints from the sounds of early '70s soul musicians like Marvin Gaye. The following 'New York City Song' was this cute acoustic cut, a nice introspective breather in the mix here. Some moments here like 'Make the Women Love Me' and 'In and Out of the Shadows' reminded me of the heartland rock sounds of Springsteen. I guess Dion really loves his string arrangements...I mean they never really got old for me on this album, so I'm cool with it. I guess this record is "generic-sounding" in almost every way possible, like the polished pop-music from the radio that I'm sure the alternatives that grew up in the late '70s got sick of. But I didn't grow up around that time so I don't care how generic this may or may not sound, I just think the music here sounds pretty damn good.
