As for Flesh & Blood it is a much more consistent effort with less of that disco feel and more of the refined synth soundscapes that would eventually lead to Avalon. Whilst it isn't quite as diverse as the early albums it is much more professional and elegant, as well as providing Bryan a chance to use his moody croon to best effect.
