There are some unexpected, even unpredictable melody trails, and lyrics. Among the more notable tracks are "Human," which has a very off-time guitar groove, and "Mr. Warner," a song to a certain shock rocker. Vigorous rock guitar surrounds lines like, "If you are the devil, make me disappear..." "Mary Tyler Moore" is also a cool song, discussing the happy front that people on TV and in the public eye have in place. Daryl's always had that cool rock & roll voice and songwriting ability that made you wonder why he was in a band like Imagine This. Well, I think this works much better.
