Neil's Solo Album (well it sounds like it)

(4 out of 5 stars)
"SOUND: _Release_ is a departure from the PSB sound of years ago. It reminds me of the pace of _Behavior_ without the gems of It's a Sin, HCYETBTS, and Jealousy. Also, it sounds like Chris was absent for many of the songs, since his vibrant programming sounds are missing or diluted. Instead Neil stole that vocoder thing from Cher and used that on one song. (though Neil's nasal sound could double as a vocoder). However with all its faults from traditional PSB sound (whatever that is), the album is surprisingly good. I only hope the singles are remixed up a notch. Sadly Home & Dry is not...SONG PICKS: (1) Home & Dry defines the album. (4)London and (8)Here are the peppiest."
