Law and Order--Rites of Passage

Law and Order--Rites of Passage (1991/MCA) Rating--6.3

There are shades of Kik Tracee and Saigon Kick here, and also a little 'Illusion'-era GNR, in that there's occasional piano incorporations, and the like. Not quite as solid as the previous offering.
The easy-going "The Truth About Me" is a rollicking tune, and "Plague of Ignorance" is heavier and thumping.
Both "Why Would You Lie to Yourself" and "The Open Door" are good; however, not too many other tracks on this release do much to stand out. The band has a good, fresh sound, but fall down a bit on the execution.
TRACK LIST: Dawn Over Zero/Why Would You Lie to Yourself/The Hope and the Hunger/Sacred/The Truth About Me/ Plague of Ignorance/The Open Door/River/Mary/Funeral For the Good Mother/Decide/Is Freedom Slavery?
