Little footprint beyond its audience. Reported but not counted — how far a record travelled describes its reception rather than the record, and a newer release has had less time to travel than an older one.

Moments worth listening for

Where the writing does something specific.

  • Words Are Not Enough

    The bridge features a poignant moment where the lyrics shift from emotional introspection to an urgent plea for connection.

    This shift not only intensifies the personal stakes but also showcases Frehley’s ability to blend vulnerability with hard rock bravado.
