Resigned
Sean's big brother pulled the sophomore hara-kiri routine on 1992'sFree-for-all, sabotaging the goodwill built up by his debut hit, "No Myth," with an album of impenetrable Einsteinian pop. OnResigned,he's back to wonderfully melodic Beatles-inspired fare like "Out of My Hands" and "Me Around." "Like Egypt Was" proves he's still a brainiac, but all the melodies and arrangements here are once again ready for primetime.--Jeff Bateman
