      Maestro
      (as

      is
      back
      with
      a
      new
      of-
     
     
      fering,
      Built
      to
      Last.
      Keeping
     
     
      with
      his
      Canadian
      roots,
      he’s
     
     
      sampled
      the
      Guess
      Who
      for
     
     
      the
      tune
      “Stick
      to
      Your
      Vi-
     
     
      sion,”
      which
      also
      happens
      to
     
     
      be
      the
      only
      song
      I
      actually
      like
     
    
   
   
    
     
       
     
    
   
   
    
     
      on
      the
      album.
      Must
      be
      some-
     
     
      thing
      about
      hearing
      Burton
     
     
      Cummings
      breaking
      into
     
     
      “These
      Eyes”.
     
    

    
     
      Beyond
      that,
      there’s
     
     
      nothing
      truly
      interesting
      here:
     
     
      just
      a
      bunch
      of
      tunes
      making
     
     
      references
      to
      his
      past
      accom-
     
    
   
   
    
     
        
     
     
       
     
     
       
     
     
        
     
     
        
     
     
       
     
     
        
     
     
       
     
     
         
     
     
        
     
    
   
   
    
     
      panied
      by
      annoying
      beats.
     
     
      However,
      |
      must
      admit
      that
     
     
      “Stick
      to
      Your
      Vision”
      is
      a
     
     
      pretty
      dang
      catchy
      tune.
      Un-
     
     
      fortunately
      the
      rest
      of
      the
      al-
     
     
      bum
      doesn’t
      live
      up
      to
      the
     
     
      standard
      it
      set.

      The

      are
      pretty
      interesting,
      at
      times
     
     
      sounding
