For what is basically art rock delivered with a great sense of tongue in cheek,
2nd Honeymoon is actually a very listenable double-album. Covering everything from
Johnny Mercer balladry ("Cocktails at Eight") to off-kilter pop ("Where's the Weekend"), the album's 22 songs span nearly every style of music without sounding forced or trite. Even more astonishing is the amount of great melody lines buried within the album's four sides. Muff Winwood's adept production is also able to keep what is a multitude of instruments (recorder, piano, accordion, guitar, banjo, etc.) from cluttering the arrangements. ~ Steve Kurutz
