[Heeplist] My Outsider review for In Rock magazine (R ussia)

[Bob Winward]

I finally took a break from Outsider today, after 2 listens through.  I then
played Into the Wild, wow what a difference in the bass productin between
the 2.  On ITW, the bass is really, really low tones and heavy.  It is sort
of under the music.  On Outsider the bass is more upfront and higher toned
and plays with the rest of the music.  It blends and sounds more like a low
tone guitar. Whereas Trevor was more like the sound of an earthquake below
your feet.  I am sure Dave S and Dale can relate.
