It's all there on the opening Blizzard of '77: obvious chords, acoustic strum, pretty vocals swinging through microballad detail-hopping...but with this little tinge of something special again and again: some small little turn of phrase, an off-center rhyme, an out-of-place tone, a hitch in the structure.
And so it goes: the 90's pop-rock shtick skeleton, dressed up with a dapper air that makes you want to buy it a drink.
It tips into pure saccharine at times (Inside of Love), and rides most of its choruses way too hard, but there's a little bit of magic, a little bit of These Guys Got It that makes Let Go well worth your listen 3.5/5
