Album Title: Every Good Boy Deserves Favor
What I Like (Soothing): "Nice to Be Here". A pleasantly rhythmic song about surreptitiously watching forest animals at (humanlike) play. It's a sane British cousin to CCR's lunatic "Lookin' Out My Back Door".
What I Like (Love Song): "Emily's Song". This song was written for the newborn daughter of one of the band members; it's sweet and comfortable, speaking of the new vistas her birth opened up to him.
What I Like (Sweet & Sour): "The Story in Your Eyes". More dynamic than the two songs above, this one oscillates between in-turned love and out-turned fear: the world around us may be collapsing, apocalyptic ("We're part of the fire that is burning / And from the ashes we can build another day"), but we are together ("I can hide within your sweet sweet love / For ever more").
Overall: I find this album pleasant to listen to, but it doesn't seem to stick with me afterward, with the exception of "Nice to Be Here". A good album, but not their best.
