Unfortunately, there is little of that to be heard on the second CONTINENTAL album (I am not familiar with the first one). The song "Millionaires" starts off well with "She´s gone" and "21st Century", fine rock 'n' roll. The third song "Punk Rock Girl" adds a good dose of country, but from then on it goes downhill.
The songs are either at half tempo or are just ballads, yawn.... Even Rick Barton's good voice can't help, the album just gets more boring. Only in the tenth, the penultimate song "Millionaires" do Rick Barton, his son Stephen, Dave Deprest, and Derek Louis release the handbrake and give it a bit of gas... Not too much, not too little... Only to glide back into melancholic waters with the last song "Free".
I have listened to these 35 minutes several times now and revise my initial judgment from "bad" to "well, okay", you just have to listen to the album more often, but it doesn’t make it "good" either.
Additionally, I don't have any lyrics or a booklet, so unfortunately, I can't engage with the surely interesting lyrics. That results in a deduction of points.
