“Universal Human Desire” has a more mellow laid back style AOR which adds another perspective to the genre for me.”Weight Of The World” is a nice flowing track which just glides along,the synths play a huge part in the song,with a great chorus,with nice harmonies,behind the smooth main vocal.”Save Your Love” has this cool guitar run to start,which along with the melody and chorus create this great radio friendly 80's sounding track.”Tonight” is catchy AOR number with a great anthemic chorus,great melodic guitar solo.”Lost Without You” a power ballad sees a slight change musically country vibes melody with Glen Wikran delivering a solid vocal.”Afraid Of Love” has edgier riffs and melody,cool synth touches and a lot of solid harmonies.”Monkey On My Back” is a catchy ear worm,positive feel good number,with “We Are One” a song of unity mainly acoustic lead,again slight country touches,middle of the road easy listening.”Last Of The Runaways” & “Think Of You” are superb middle of the road Pop/Rock tracks with dreamy,mellow passages with glorious sing a long choruses”Last Time She Cried” has some great guitar work,another cool AOR track ,”Fallin' For You” is much in the same lane,mellow vibes,perfect chilled night time cruising material.”Coming Home” finishes this album with the same style and panache as the previous tracks.

Outlasted have delivered a great album of sophisticated AOR. The chilled ,mellow,dreamy laid back style to this album is so good. It's a welcome change to the normal AOR/Melodic style I normally listen to. Superb musically in every way will be spinning this album for a very long time,and the wife absolutely loves it!Excellent album
