2.0 poorRobbit | February 27th 17

Despite the Van Zandt pedigree, .38 Special was never strictly a Southern Rock band. Even on their earlier hit records, they always had more of a penchant for pop/rock slickness than the gutsier bluesy hard rock of Skynyrd. ROCK & ROLL STRATEGY finds the band drifting more and more towards Adult Contemporary and sounding far less themselves. "Second Chance" would have been a great Paul Carrack radio ballad, but is far from what I would have expected from these guys. "Innocent Eyes" sounds a bit like Survivor. The 80s production values and occasional synths give the overall album too much a much of a generic sound. Disappointingly lame.
