I really like his solo album. He worked on it for years. But now that he's got it out of his system, I'd kill to see him and Cinderella work on a new album. The dude rarely writes a bad song and rules at blues-rock. Vocal problems and all, Tom is still and amazing talent. A new Cinderella album would make my decade!
I still like the first Cinderella albums riffs better than anything that has come after. Sure, the overall songs may be better written after but they all kind of sound the same IMHO. Not bad but just nothing that stands out.
It's funny because you listen to this album and go "Ya it's cool and sounds a lot like Cinderella... But it would sound better with Eric and Fred and Jeff behind it" then listen to Jeff's recent solo stuff and go "Ya it's cool... But I can hear Tom singing this and it's instantly 1000x better"
