What do the Second Coming, Crossroads, and October have in common? After years of building your songbook, the record company needs a second album. The songs remaining in the book belong in the vault and the new songs belong in the tour bus because they are about the bus. Many listeners can relate to the yearning to be famous, many fewer can relate to songs about the miseries of fame. Signs of the sophomore slump include song suites with extended instrumental sections, titles foregrounding financial motives (A Quick One, eh?), and reusing themes. The best are able to survive the sophomore slump on style. Grosz mostly manages– his light tough makes for easy company and you want songs about the proverbial bus from an analyst– but the flow is stilted. Themes are repeated– two engaging paragraphs about a falling-out with his sister give way to two patient vignettes–but never fully sounded. These songs still need a chorus, but Grosz has the style to figure it on the third album.
