The lyrics [in The Best of Times] are beautiful and full of the kind of common, everyday events and descriptions of events that would sound trite if written about a different topic. But as it is, they fit the mood of the song nicely. Mike did a really nice job with this one.

There have been far too many complaints about the lyrical content of this album. I wholeheartedly agree with both of these statements.

Once there, the reprise was grand. But even for a band that makes abrupt transitions its signature, this transition just felt forced. Maybe I'll get over it after repeat listens.

This is one of only two things on the album that I particularly dislike (all the others rate between average and incredible). I'm glad to see that someone else feels the same way about it.

Bosk, you got the über super-duper ultra titanium rare one! I'm SO jealous - the rest of us are stuck with that Rainbow cover. Do tell - what's the Deep Purple cover on your disc? :lol
emindead:
Bosk, do you mind posting this review on Amazon and other similar sites to promote the album even more?
I agree with lots of things and I will definitely won't agree with the thing about Mike's vocals and what you said about the generalization of the lyrics... but the rest is mostly spot on. Good job.
