"Born", Bonds first album, was an incredibly inspiring and amazing album: varied, passionate, deeply enlivening. "Shine" is the opposite; repetitive tunes- uncreatively commercial and superficial; simply mediocre. Considering "Born" one of the best albums in my library, Shine was a total disappointment. I wasted $18 on an album I could't bear to hear more than once...what a contrast to their other work!
