I agree it was a jarring shift, but that music just doesn't offend me. It has a purpose. Again, not enough to make me buy it, but I can see what people get out of it. When the mood strikes me, I could probably be persuaded to admit that What a Fool Believes is a damn fine pop/soul song. I've always found it difficult to get my arms around the McDonald Doobie Brothers years, as well as Hall & Oates. Very similar "blue-eyed soul" that gets unfairly dumped on, IMO. Underneath it all is some fine pop songs, even if the packaging makes you gag.
