Like their 1995 debut, All Change, producer John Leckie manned the decks for Troubled Times, and that's hardly where the similarities end: apart from the spacy soul verses of \"Brother Fighting Brother,\" the album is cut from the same cloth as All Change -- it's all cheerful, tuneful Merseybeat. John Power may not have much spark but he is a diligent craftsman, capable of constructing a sturdy tune and delivering it without fuss. It's workingman's pop: there's no flair, nothing flashy, but it gets the job done. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine","brand":"MovieMars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52615418970399,"sku":"5037300773322","price":25.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/7833\/0399\/files\/550239ba5bb2e3f3b30dc7ed6c8bbc67.jpg?v=1781431024","url":"https:\/\/www.moviemars.com\/products\/troubled-times","provider":"MovieMars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
