In A Dream

Lionel's Dad = Mark T. Williams released his third solo project album "In A Dream". Comparing with his first and second album, this is a little hard-edge one. Without Joseph Williams' featuring vocals, the opening track "Scream" is the average-level heavy blues rock tune I think that third track "Rhythm Of Love" has too heavy melody for Mark T.'s soft voice. Fourth track "Take Your Time" is very comfortable tune and this is what I expected for Mark T. Williams. Sixth track "I Don't Want To Say Goodbye" and seventh track "All That Heart" are very good. I do not like eighth one "I Desire You" because this is not melodic, like punk-rock. After boring track, the killer track "Don't Ask Me" would follow. Tenth track "Forver" is typical Mark T's tune. Eleventh and twelfth track are not matching with my personal taste. The last track "The Children Are Singing" is very good. After all, how should I grade this album? From the viewpoint of unity as an album, I could not give this album the average rating because I know Mark T. could make better album like his first and second solo album.
