2 stars The first album I heard them was the "Birds of Fire", then "The Inner Mounting Flame". Very good indeed, I thought, but then I heard this album... "Adventures In Radioland". What happened? I do not know. Ten songs and the cover photo of an expert guitarist "John McLaughlin". It was then that I realized, it was not necessarily an album by "Mahavishnu" but kind of a partnership ... because taking the aforementioned guitarist, all other members have changed. "Jonas Hellborg" is a competent musician, solo career and partnerships considerable quality. I do not have much to say other musicians, but by what I heard the keyboard and saxophone played down the grief of this work. I find hard to highlight some music when the album in general proved to be bad for me. With all due respect the figure of a "McLaughlin", but it seems that he is a guest artist than necessarily the person who exposed his name on the album cover. The instrument that stands out most in the whole album for me is the saxophone, or "Bill Evans", then according to the perspective, The album can best be improved or not, but how dare mention "Mahavishnu" ... was much lower than expected. "The Wait" tracks and" Half Man, Half Cookie" has a walk through the square, dull. Highlighted some positive? Some lesson? Good musicians do not always mean a good album ... and what was to be called adventure became a regret, disappointment...
