Mellotronists

Of the 1k+ CDs in my collection, this is easily one of the worst.   
Every song is a complete stinker, and if there is any tron (even in  
'Waters Beneath the Bridge') it's way down in the mix and can't  
salvage the pitiful sappy songwriting.  The vocals are especially  
horrid.  Hard to believe it's even the same Mike Pinder that signed  
all of those Mellotron covers on ebay.
