"One Hit to the Body"

DISQUALIFIED! Hell, didn't even make Jump Back or Forty Licks or, certainly, the new one.

Since I quess EXILE and SOME GIRLS bonus stuff is not qualfied, it needs to be "How Can I Stop". I think it is one of the very rare tracks - probably the only one - that has originality and I think without hesitation can be compared to their former excellence. It riches their musical vocabulary. The other BRIDGES TO BABYLON highlights - "Saint of Me" and "Out of Control" - do not quite hit the mark. Then there is a huge gap, "Highwire" (which is nothing extraordinary) and then even bigger one... there aren't much highlights in their post-90 work, unfortunately.

I enjoy listenng "The Storm" and "Back of My Hand", since it is nice to hear them doing trad. blues, and they sound relaxed, without trying too much or little, but c'mon, if that is best they can do, things are little worrying... But those songs work very well. The same goes for some rockers - "Too Tight comes to mind - but they can do that stuff half-sleep.

Love is strong. They sound inspired and dangerous without pretending. The best exemple of how they can still write Classic material without sounding like a parody of their style.

Sex Drive needs a mention, not because it's a fantastic song - but rather because the recording and the performance is excellent!
