6.5 / 10
F.E.A.R. and Whispers are among the strongest tracks that Ian has released as a solo artist, and El Mundo Pequeno shows yet another facet to his character. Where inspiration is lacking, studio trickery and guitar pyrotechnics are relied upon a little too heavily, however (a second-rate Low imitation and cheesy Led Zeppelin pastiche are particular low points).
