Primo posto che era nell’aria, ora vedremo quanto regge…se l’esordio e’ lontano anni luce (e in un certo senso ci mancherebbe il contrario), anche l’unico tentativo sopra le righe (Because of the times) e’ nel dimenticatoio, come around sundown recupera qualche idea gia’ non eccezionale su Only by the night e la sviluppa in tredici tracce con ben poco di sorprendente o trascinante.
