AAA-league neo-70s guitar rock starring the definitively adequate vocals of the singer songwriter. Leadoff number "Window in the Dark" steals the chilly thunder of BOC's "Don't Fear the Reaper" but fails to pay off with a palatable chorus section, which is the running weakness throughout. "Lazy Sunday Afternoon" is Lucy in the Sky sans diamonds, while "Weak" spoons Mark's best Davy Jones karaoke over a tattered Death Cab tapestry that could have constituted relevance if the creamy center hadn't already been used by every first-timer since Moses. Order at Tower Records
