However, it was a real grower, and while I don't rave over it, it's still a solid effort. This ones probably the same.

Loved Contraband, looking forward to giving this a listen, despite the fact it has been panned by the critics

So, i've listened to the album a few times now, and although the first half of the album is ok, the 2nd half is dross.
