Though offered a less aggressive message than one might have expected from , the songs were far from lazy, and "Time Will Tell," "Is This Love," and "Running Away" are resonant, top-shelf work. was a minor effort for as a prophet or a commentator, but it's a rich and rewarding set from the musician.
