It still hasn't quite grabbed me the way I hoped it would, but "Sea of Tranquility" came up in my random shuffle the other day, and I dug it, so I might have to give this one more time to grow on me.MetalFROhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01663974489543139174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2641187104382142983.post-41910048299074306582017-10-06T09:19:17.635-04:002017-10-06T09:19:17.635-04:00Thanks for stopping by!

I've been thinking about checking out their older stuff but I just haven't had the time.The Old Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06227532873959372472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2641187104382142983.post-70039152525694090912017-10-04T22:38:20.586-04:002017-10-04T22:38:20.586-04:00This was my second Undercover album.

I must have listened to that album hundreds of times when it was released. Devotion took a little time for me to get into mainly due to the brighter hues and colors of the songs, although there are still plenty of shadows to be found within songs such as Work It Out and the title track. Devotion still holds up as a classic from a bygone era however. I just backed the reissue campaign on Kickstarter, but to be honest, it was mainly to get a shot at the Balance Of Power reissue next year, providing Devotion was successful. Now it looks like there will indeed be a Balance Of Power reissue. Anyway, nice review. I enjoy reading reviews of these lost albums from my youth.Kenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00554044432320553313noreply@blogger.com
