Book Early starts with "5.7.0.5," a
Queen/ELO hybrid, and the rest of the album follows suit pretty closely -- but this time
City Boy adds more pop elements to their sound and drops the soft rock feel that was prevalent on much of
Young Men Gone West. The result is quite enjoyable, especially on tracks like "Raise Your Glass (To Foolish Me)," "Cigarettes" and "Dangerous Ground."
Book Early is City Boy's most energetic, if not their best.
