Cross That Line

After a three-year wait, this album was a bit of a disappointment. Musically, it is his best yet, but it lacked a certain energy that the others had. The songs seemed to replace vivacity with length. The album didn't do very well on the charts; the number 13 single (U.S.), Everlasting Love, was the biggest hit. Ironically, the best song on this album, Out of Thin Air, does not use a single synthesizer but instead is a solo piano piece performed by Jones himself. After all those years of electronic music, a song featuring a real instrument is a welcome relief. ~ Iotis Erlewine, All Music Guide
