About reviews, I always rate MK's new records in three different phases, when I listen to it the first time, after many listenings giving the songs a chance to grow, and after some weeks of the releasem when I hadn´t listen to it for days or weeks...
This last phase is what will mark my rate. If I feel like listening to it frequently, from time to time, or nothing at all.
I liked Tracker in the first phase, loved some of the songs and liked the cd as a whole in the second, but it´s failing in the third. Yesterday I put the cd just to try if the feeling changes, but not...
With the past of time, Tracker has changed into a cd that I don´t feel like listening often...
It´s a good record, yes, it is, but his quality is not good enough to make me miss listening to it and sing his songs.
Actually what I listen in the car it´s another way I rate cds, the music I enjoy listen when driving. Tracker has failed that test too from the very beguining. I like it, but when driving, more than two songs bore me to death and I have to put the radio instead, and when I stop, I change the cd for another one, that lately it´s the new Toto cd.
This is just my opinion about it, actually, Privateering passed "my test" with better rate, but the winners are still "Crimson", "Ragpickers" and "Roadrunning". Yes, I´m weird, but that cd´s make me feel like listening to them when it´s been a while...
