Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)After their sappy pop junk effort in 1982, the band leader Kevin Cronin must have been depressed though the album made so-so success. But 1984 album turned out to be dramatic and solid one. Kevin participated Survivor's Caught In The Game album giving chorus part such as It Doesn't Have To Be This Way. Jim Peterik of Survivor is somewhat like master to Kevin. Survivor's 1983 album didn't become a hit but might have given troubled rock band leader new vigor.
Opening track I DO' WANNA KNOW is blasting and strong and yet catchy rock anthem proving that their rock spirit is still alive. ONE LONELY NIGHT is in contrast a ballad but guitar solo is still solid just like the ones in HI INFIDELITY. LIVE EVERY MOMENT is catchy and fun yet solid pop song. And one of my top favorite REO songs to date. ROCK'N ROLL STAR is another gem track. Then comes CAN'T FIGHT THIS FEELING somewhat KEEP ON LOVING and TAKE IT ON THE RUN combined and REO's signature ballad hit. WHEELS ARE TURNING makes me feel like being in their rock concert, brilliant ending.
Verdict: REO's dramatic return to form.
Rating: 93 out of 100
Recommended for: REO Speedwagon, Journey, and Survivor fans and wide range of 80s pop rock fans.
