Once you accept that there isn't an original note or lyric to be found anywhere, this disc almost becomes a guilty pop pleasure. ''We Don't Wanna Come Down'' is pure Bee Gees circa Saturday Night Fever; ''Rain'' is a full-on contempo boy-band lament; ''NYC Girls'' mimics ''California Girls'' with a shout-out to the Big Apple's finest fillies. Hey, it ain't new, kid, but it's a passable addition to the block.
