Neil Diamond - a musical disappointment

I recently had $10 to spend at Best Buy and so I searched and searched until I found something I could buy for this amount and some change. After a couple of weeks, I purchased Neil Diamond's latest recording upon its release on Tuesday titled Home After Dark.

Honestly, I was blown away by his performance on American Idol a few weeks back when he sang his song Pretty Amazing Grace. Powerful and inspiring to say the least. Unfortunately the same can't be said for the entirety of the album. While admittedly I'm not a huge Neil Diamond fan, I do like his stuff and own one of his greatest hits recordings from a few years back. Sadly, outside of Pretty Amazing Grace, this album leaves few memorable tracks. A musical disappointment to say the least. Oh, well, there's always Def Leppard's new recording...
