Sale!
After a three-year wait, this album was a bit of a disappointment.
Musically, it is his best yet, but it lacked a certain energy that the others had.
The songs seemed to replace vivacity with length.
The album didn't do very well on the charts; the number 13 single (U.S.), "Everlasting Love," was the biggest hit.
Ironically, the best song on this album, "Out of Thin Air," does not use a single synthesizer but instead is a solo piano piece performed by Jones himself.
After all those years of electronic music, a song featuring a real instrument is a welcome relief.
