20 years later, it's 2009, and ol' Ace is still doing his thing, still not giving a fuck what anyone else thinks of his outdated hard rock, just as long as the loyal fans are happy. So here, he is, a wealthy man in his 50's, having nothing left to prove, releasing his best solo album since the 70's. It's a good hard rock album. The songs are solid, kind of loopy without being too out there, and almost confessional. This is an older Space Ace, and though he still writes songs about girls like he was a teenager(kind of creepy, always is), there are reflective for Ace type moments. There is a poignancy absent from earlier albums, like on "A Little Below The Angels". It's cliche, it's hokey, but if you've grown up with this stuff, it's irresistible.
