With this album, the Project entered a bit of a decline. Largely dictated by demands from their parent label Arista, vocalist Eric Woolfson takes center stage as the predominant voice, moreso than on any other Project album except the later Freudiana. This is not a bad thing, because I quite like Woolfson’s voice, but there is such a thing as too much, especially when it was the norm by this time for the group to use several vocalists instead of focusing on one for most of an entire album. This album spawned the semi-hit “Don’t Answer Me”, a 50’s retro ballad which
also became the Project’s first widely-distributed music video – naturally, given the faceless nature of the band, it was animated! Also featured is possibly my favorite Parsons instrumental of all, “Pipeline”.
