<p>Is that Mutt on backing vocals on that first track. Sounds just like a cheesy Def Leppard song, so it must be. Track two is just plain awful. Next one is a little bit better. I think Space Elevator should cover this track.</p>
<p>Hymn is a real snoozer too! </p>
<p>Please let these 17 minutes end soon.</p>
<p>Def Leppard's back on Inside Out.</p>
<p>Thankfully, I'm on the last track. This is steeped in everything that screams late 80's. Sometimes that's a good thing, but not so much…</p>

<p>I have this CD and not the Candy reissue, but the original release. However, the saw mark on the paper tells me I probably got it from a second hand store. The main reason I bought it was Mutt Lange, who did a good job producing 3/4 of the tracks, but not AC/DC or Def Leppard, good, which is understandable, given the band being new the label most likely didn't want to spend a fortune on them.</p>

<p>Well we're still in the Rock Candy series. Just under 18 minutes huh? </p>
<p></p>
<p>Well the first 4 tracks are certainly steeped in 1988 songwriting and production values. Can Mutt lift it above the other albums of the time? First track that really made me listen was Hymn - not sure why, but it was a very nicely done song, the previous 4 sounded average and I have to wonder why Mutt didn't stay involved in the whole project? Maybe Shania distracted him around this time? Who knows,…</p>

Maybe Shania distracted him around this time? Who knows, but this really doesn't feel like this has his imprint on it, IMO. Your Red track makes it two in a row, but it was "I Like What I See" that really made me listen, even more so than Hymn - where has this been? Very poppy but has that catchy feel to it. I may have ran into the Cherry pick here... The closer is quite good to. This is about 50/50 listening experience and I see Rock Candy has another release of this bands with 4 members on the cover. Hmmm... </p>
<p></p>
<p>Indeed "I Like What I See" is this weeks Cherry pick followed by "Hymn" and "Color You A Smile" ... Much better ending than start, had this lasted only 17 minutes I would've missed the good stuff! Not a purchase but a nice listen...</p>
