I think Eric has enough various potential hits for a succesful comeback. With: Never Say Die, Cindy In The Wind (catchy pop tunes), The High Cost of Loving (country), DATDBS, After You, Surely I Do, Wild Wild Heart (masterpieces ballads), I don't think releasing DATDBS , if along with one of the mentioned uptempos, would "put him back in an "image prison" again as "a singer of melodramatic ballads"". I'd be glad he has the opportunity of releasing another album with these songs. Maybe it will not work but it will be great if he could try.
