A sleeper (critics/public were sleeping, this snuck by!)

(4 out of 5 stars)

"I'm not sure why this CD isn't available, but Double is a great band. You might have heard their 80's single "Captain of Her Heart" and thought they were a one-hit-wonder.Well, the two guys that make up Double are extremely talented musicians and songwriters. Their songs don't rely on overused, predictable rock progressions. They incorporate really interesting changes. And their lyrics are thought-provoking and stiring.Some of my favorite songs on this album are "Devil's Ball" (unbelievable violinist brought in for this song) and "Gliding" (a quirky tune that starts off rather cutsy and then hits you with some ominous and intriguing changes).Actually, there's not a song on this album that I don't like or feel the need to skip over. That alone makes it a great album in my book.The ONLY reason that I don't give it 5 stars is that some of their sound palette is a little dated. That's certainly doesn't stop me from listening to this CD as much now as I did in the past, though.Cheers."
