A classic slice of pop-inflected American rock. Put this CD in your changer, settle back behind the wheel, and drive down the freeway. It's perfect road music, with propelling drums, catchy melodies, good songwriting, great guitar work, and tuneful singing. | From the propulsive double-guitar drive of "Don't You See" to the mysterious synth-inflected hum of "Angie's Song", Pleasure Trip seems comfortable with all sorts of lessons learned from the last forty years of rock evolution. "Never One Thing" has a solid Lou Reed feel; "She" has the acoustic rock ambience of a Blue Rodeo hit. And you'll be humming the catchy dark low guitar riff of "All I Want". | There's little too much cymbal here, not enough development of a melody there, and some of the lyrics are a little rock-generic. But these are minor points -- and I can tell because I keep listening to it and enjoying it more each time. | A great release and sure to please you as you drive down that big American highway.
