That's an almost impressive feat. Adult contemporary is all about being as down to earth and restrained as possible, so combining that with rock opera and still somehow remaining adult contemporary is a neat trick.

Adult contemporary as in boring. Which is what adult contemporary is.

In other words, a boring rock opera.

Okay, I'll be honest I didn't listen to the album I just wanted to fit in.
