Advantages: Great album
Disadvantages: none

...I have been a Barry Manilow fan since I was a kid, but I only bought a copy of this album a couple of years ago. I have played it endlessly since and I would thoroughly recommend it to anyone, even someone who doesn't know his music. My absolute favourite songs on the album are 'Riders to the Stars' with leads straight into 'Let Me Go', and 'Say the Words'. 'Riders to the Stars' is so uplifting and fun, it cheers me up every time I hear it, and 'Let Me Go' is more laid back but has a lovely flowing quality to it. 'Say the Words' is very tuneful and a pleasure to listen to. The only song I'm not too keen on is 'Jump Shout Boogie' but even then, it's far from a bad song. The well known 'Weekend in New England' and 'This One's for You' are great love songs and I have never tired of them. All in all, this is a great Barry Manilow... Read review

One Dead Cop this track starts out great with some acoustic choards and slowly builds up into a powerful track, and overall i would say that this is my favourite loc track. it has quite a sublime feel to it, and yet puts across a strong points. 9. Ya Can't Go Home loc seem to have gone for a mellower feel for this album and this is one of those really mellow tracks, it is just a relaxed track. 10. Rock the 40 oz once again they have managed to put rock the 40 oz (this track has been on evry loc album) on another album, i dont blame them though it is one of there best tracks. 11. Soon we will be dead this track is very random and very different from all the other leftover crack tracks it goes for a quiter approach and is more of a comical track! it features "w/World/Inferno Friendship Society" 12...
