The album was deeply personal and adopted a more serious tone, with tracks exploring issues such as child abuse (&quot;Where Are You&quot;) and their estrangement from their fathers (&quot;Flesh and Blood&quot;, &quot;All the Way From New York&quot;). Although the album received good reviews, it failed to generate the same success as the group&apos;s debut album. The first single, &quot;You Won&apos;t See Me Cry&apos;&quot;, peaked at #20.
