The reformed Dragon (two members from the classic lineup missed out) returned to the Australian charts with this extremely 80's-dated record. The good thing is they had not lost their sense of a good hook, as evidenced by the synth-wobbling groove of "Rain". But the old tension between flashy, finely-crafted pop and their devil-may-care attitude has been replaced by a more positive approach which, while admirable on some levels, doesn't feel very authentic. Ballads like "Cool Down" and "Fool" feel like the antithesis of what this band was about in the first place. But then again, maybe this was the start of their "born again" phrase. Definitely a step down from earlier albums.
