Bryan Adams develops steadily ... and further away from the rockers. Of course, he makes the electric guitar is still pretty good crash into some songs, but I can understand it when reviews say that this is all quite polished. I would also criticize when the melodies were not so great. Simultaneously, the first two songs "How Do Ya Feel Tonight" and "C'mon C'mon C'mon" are written so great as I would have not expected by Bryan Adams. Namely, they are not typical of him, because they have a different melody, than what you are used to from him otherwise. Unfortunately, the 3rd track "Getaway" falls somewhat in the usual (albeit with small electronic gadgets), but already "On A Day Like Today" goes well with the first two. It even sounds a bit like Britpop à la Oasis' "Wonderwall". After that, it will get pretty poppy ("Inside Out", "If I Had You"), followed by 2 more rocking songs ("Before The Night Is Over", "I Do not Wanna Live Forever"), which I call rock songs but not can take seriously, because they are too pseudo-rock. But then follows with "Where Angels Fear to Tread" a ballad as she gets only a Bryan Adams concluded. Although this is again his usual style, but convinced the melody. Also worth mentioning is the very beautiful "Cloud No. 9", which is in 2 versions plan, both of which I find very successful: the first more folky, the 2nd in Chicane mix, something atmospheric and electronic). Then there's the duet with Mel C. Actually, "When You're Gone" would be a very acceptable song, but this terrible voice of Mel C zwinkt me every time to skip the song. Why Mr. Adams this song Penalty has had to sing, is beyond me. Anyway, I can give the album 4 stars and recommend it with no qualms.
