| Very smooth British AOR in the style of Say, BLVD or Strangeways. Lots of keyboards and shimmering production make this a good, if very calculated sounding, release.

| This album really surprised me. I didn't expect much, but I think it's an excellent melodic rock / AOR CD. The first three songs are brilliant, as is 'Kid in a small town' but if I'm not mistaken I believe I enjoy pretty much every song on this CD. To me they sound like a much, much better version of Say. Excellent CD. Highly recommended, especially for that average price!

| Another good Brit AOR album that is well worth picking up for fans of lightweight pure AOR. Great sound, and some really strong songs on here. Say is a good comparison, but for me the overall sound is similar to that of Blue Blud, Atlantic etc, in that Brit band with a slightly American sound to it. "Wasted Emotion" is by far their classiest song, and is ultra-catchy. The rest is not that far off, and well worth the low price this is fetching. 7.5/10.

| Class 'A' songwriting in places with a solid production. Keyboards reminiscent of a British Boulevard, but without the defining character Boulevard has - absolute class - although this is a good attempt. Desperate Times is totally breathtaking. Worth Owning.

| If you only look to the song material this is easily at least 9/10 (Sexy Girls isn't exactly a top class tune). Every other song is amazing and I'm grateful that they had the guts to release this one in 1994 when grunge rules the world. There's only one thing that I find somewhat boring and that is the leadsinger sometimes. Not a bad voice but not that great either, but the songs makes this record a must-have anyway, BUY!

| That’s pure aor without any other contaminations(except track N.7),good aor,not great.Personally don t like so much singer,I find poor choruses here for the genre and some weak and generic song(too much generic keys sound similar in most tracks),but there are also some very good melodick moments.7,5/10

| Pure AOR perfection... Top 5 AOR of all time... It's useless to mention a song.From first to last they are great. I believe that "Passion Street" and "Atlantic" in 1994 gave us 2 of the best albums ever....100/100.

| Vaya Tela!! Igual q el caso d sus Compatriotas: ATLANTIC y WALK THE WIRE, estos Olvidaos Britanicos sacaron en 1994 Joyas Descomunales. Mezcla Strangeways, Dare, Boulevard... Osea Clase, Elegancia y Melodia a partes iguales. Quizas no sean super Musicazos, quizas el Vocalista no sea un Prodigio, pero sin duda esto tiene muxo merito! (Tanto en caso del año, para mi casi fuera d la buena epoca, como del Pais) Wasted Emotion - Vaya manera d Abrir un disco, la voz me recuerda al Michael Morales...

Samantha - Bestial, q Teclados mas elegantes, q Finura, y las guitarras metidas a la perfeccion Desperate Times - Absolutamente Brutal! Fall In Love - Q Teclas, q Melodias, Totalmente al mas puro estilo JOURNEY!! Love Lies Bleeding - En plan Acustico Total, aki me recuerda la voz al Ted Poley!! Sexy Girls - Kizas la mas floja,

| This is an aor gem, with only the voice beeing a week spot. Songs like "Million Miles Away", "Where Do We Go From Here" & "Kid In A Small Town" are all amazing tracks. Very keyboard-dominated and smooth, but this cd has a calming effect on me. Possibly the best album 1994. 9.5/10

| Una obra IMPRESCINDIBLE! fantasticos temas para deleite de los fanaticos del mejor AOR (unos intros de teclados ALUCINANTES) Son correctas las comparaciones con Strangeways,Blvd y por ratos a Journey, pero no todo es color de rosa pues el bajon se llama "Sexy Girls" (party & sleazy) con lo que decae un poco la homogeneidad del disco pero Gracias a Dios hay furiosas melodias como "A Million Miles Away","Where Do We Go From Here" o "Samantha" con lo que esta banda se gano el Paraiso Incalificable.

| If you like light AOR, then this is a classic. If not, you'll be disappointed. To me, there's only one filler on this CD "Sexy girls". The rest is absolutely flawless, lots of class, could have used a better production but hey, I can't complain since almost all the songs are gems.

| Me hicieron recordar tambien un poco a Fm, pero claro no llegan al nivel de sus dos primeros discos. A Million Miles Away, es la que mas me gusta. Increible que un grupo se arriesgara en esa epoca a sacar un trabajo asi. Lastima que seria el unico

| Sounds like a mix of Valentine and Sydney (Swiss). The first 5 tracks are ABSOLUTELY KILLER! I especially love "A Million Miles Away" and "Samantha". I'm not so big on the second half of the album except "Strangers" is a good song.

| A real good one!. The main good thing about this album is the fact that it was released in a very difficult year for the Melodic Rock and AOR scene, because we are talking about 1994. Despite this detail, we can enjoy a very good album, with varied influences from Hard AOR, pure AOR and a little bit harder style, like a mix of Strageways, BLVD, Walk The Wire and Blue Bud, with great songs like "Samantha" and "A Million Miles Away".

| Wow, you'll surely draw some inspiration from this one!. Very euphonic feel good AOR, wouldn't guess they came from Sweden; no discernible accent (that which kills many good Scandi Bands). Essential = yes!

| AGREE THE FIRST 5 SONGS ARE A DREAM COME TRUE FOR ALL AOR LOVER FAN, AOR FIRST CLASS, AN EXCEPTION WITH THE SONG "SEXY GIRLS", ALL THE SECOND HALF OF THE ALBUM, AOR CLASSIC BUT NO KILLER LIKE THE FIRST 5 SONGS. 9.0/10.

| Great AOR! One 90's album with 80's style sound. Very melodic with catchy keyboards. The best songs are: Samantha, desperate times, a million miles away, kid in a small town and stranger. Essential in your AOR collection.

| This is much more to my taste. The vocals are ever so slightly strained at times but the songwriting is way up there. Favourites are Million Miles Away (smooth keyboards throughout), Samantha, Desperate Times and Sexy Girls (80s hard rock sound). The entire album is a real pleasure to listen to and I find myself coming back to it again and again.

| For anyone who's interested, the quote in the introduction to Desperate Times ("that this thing is sucking the life right out of you") is from The Dead Zone with Christopher Walken.
