Hi, Young Stranger. I think you've got Summertime Dream, and Race Among the Ruins, pegged just right. I think most of us would rank the album as right among the tops; although we all have our own favorites, sometimes a bit quirky (I still think DQ is as good as it gets), we'd all say that SD is right up there. I think even Gord himself would agree with what you said about SD in comparison with Cold on the Shoulder, which he has characterized as a bit too negative--although I still love it.

Keep listening and writing.
