"Waiting For Me" is the one GL album I´ve never developed even a trace of a liking to. To me all of the songs sounded like they were coming from someone ready to depart this world, pretty pessimistic stuff. I was really afraid that this would be Gord´s swan song - not to mention the dreadful cover photography...
The album itself was quite a disappointment after such a long hiatus, and Dylan´s "Ring Them Bells" is - in my opinion - the weakest track ever recorded by Gordon. "Wild Strawberries" clocks in at second place here, and I´m so glad 1998´s "Painter" was so much better than the prior album.
