Misplaced Ideals

by Sad Cafe

Overview

Sad Cafe's fourth album is filled with blues-rock songs with a touch of soft rock -- or vice versa, depending on the song. Standouts like "Black Rose" and "Babylon" showcase the band's love for Styx and the Stones, respectively, and the occasional ballad ("Feel Like Dying") doesn't cause the album to lose its spirited momentum. Vocalist Paul Young tries very hard to be Mick Jagger on some tracks, but he's so dead-on that he deserves some credit. Overall, this is Sad Cafe's best.
