The album is divided into three \"sides of the story\" -- roughly speaking, \"Yours\" concentrates on politically oriented rockers showing off Nuno Bettencourt's virtuosity; \"Mine\" leans toward pop songs with warmly romantic sensibilities, plus an occasional philosophical lament; and \"The Truth\" tries to wrap things up into a coherent whole but dissolves into indigestible prog-rock excess. Thus, the thematic material can be likened to a less focused version of Pornograffitti. The album is wildly uneven, but amidst the indulgences there are some fine songs to be found: \"Rest in Peace\" displays both Bettencourt's technique and melodicism as a soloist, while \"Seven Sundays\" continues in their occasional lounge ballad vein, and \"Tragic Comic\" and \"Stop the World\" are two more intelligent, wounded-romantic pop gems. ~ Steve Huey\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Music On Vinyl","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45855404785953,"sku":"8719262031241","price":51.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/8719262031241.jpg?v=1689845324","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/en-gb\/products\/8719262031241","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
