This was to be Man's last studio album for two decades, and with its weak
sales (it failed to chart) and underpowered material it's easy to see why
the band called it quits for the time being. There's some irony, then, in
the closing track being "Born with a Future." It's a good final bow,
though, as it's well harmonized and ultimately one of the best cuts on the
album. Perhaps this releases's most nagging overall problem is the mix-Phil
Ryan's keyboards are high up, while Deke Leonard's bracing guitar parts are
less evident than usual. Although this isn't always a liability-the lengthy
title track lazily wends its way through some pleasant moog solos and
electric piano flourishes-the grittiness of the band's sound is largely
squandered here.
