Which made me pause, but thats another subject for another day. However, from a production point of view, it served the purpose.

Great guitar work, and if you're familiar with his instrumental bootlegs from the pre-WB era, you might think its a reach of me to think that he has been listening to them(some of the fender rhodes playing in TRC remind me strongly of those instrumentals). Segued decently(minus The Work and the obvious comic relief) in fact, I'd think this album is better sequenced-wise than Lovesexy. Not to mention the funk!(I mean that bassline from Family Name is just outlandish).

Take that annoying "Bob George" narrative, and you got yourself a perfectly produced album. But overall, it was the LAST album where you really felt he was into the materials(hence why he performed the entire album in concerts).
