Ok listened to this 5 times throughout the day now here are my thoughts and ratings track by track

1.Throw My Bones - Good solid and catchy track to start with - 7

2.Drop The Weapon - Dull with that same old SM solo - 4

3.Were All The Same In The Dark - another mid tempo plodder but kinda catchy chorus - 5

4.Nothing At All - Like this one cheery wee track well delivered nice work from both SM and DA - 7

5.No Need To Shout - Very familiar MK Morse shuffle same old SM guitar runs you all know them - 4

6.Step By Step - Strange little track kinda Vincent Price like - 5

7.What The What - kinda bar room boogie ala early Whitesnake nice piano from DA and another SM solo you know the kind - 5

8.The Long Way Round - bit more up tempo almost Maiden like gallop at the start ! dont care for Dons solo that sound doesnt belong in DP and of course the old familiar DA guitar runs but i like this track - 7

9.The Power Of The Moon - nothing comes to mind with this one not unpleasant just blandness really - 5

10.Remission Possible - instrumental workout that serves as an intro to Man Alive - 5

11. Man Alive - Best track on the album very atmospheric - 8

12. And The Address - kinda pointless but good rehash of the MK1 track ,misses the personality of Jon and Ritchie though - 6

13.Dancing In My Sleep - More Blandness - 5

overall ranking for the album - 6

which is more than i gave it on first listen so its grown on me a bit,Its definitely a big drop from the previous 2 albums though.Pleasant well played and sung but uninspiring is how i would describe it ie kinda dull and disappointing>Just get the feeling that you've heard it all before from the band only they did it better previously.
