The album cruises along smoothly until it stalls with the weight of "Heaven" and "Tuesday-Wednesday." On "Heaven," The Woodentops slow down so much that I had to check to make sure the batteries of .my Walkman weren't running low. "Tuesday-Wednesday" is a soppy little dit- ty with an annoying dripping water faucet in the background. The album is soon back on track with the carefree abandon of 'No One Makes Me Feel," a song reminiscent of the hap- py-go-lucky acoustic material on the band's 1986 album Giant. Perhaps Rollo explains the album's tem- peramental moods best: "To me, it starts in the claustrophobic oppression of the city; I had New York on a bad day in mind. It starts off really sluggish and then you move into the suburbs and then finally onto the open road."
