I expected so much more from the man Nikki Sixx worked with on his Sixx A.M. project, but James Michael again delivers a very flat performance. The opening title cut promises in that it reminds me of a delightful rocker in the vein of Enuff Z Nuff or even the great Fab Four, but from here on it's a case of gritting ones teeth as Michael takes us on a slo-mo', reflective flatliner. 'January', and 'Chemical' attempt some kind of emotive structure but it's downright boring to be honest. 'Simple Thing' is the only track which offers a ray of light among the driftwood, making inhale a very middle f the road American rock record. If I'd wanted Bryan Adams I'd have flushed my head down the toilet.
4/10
