Where it all began for this legendary AOR outfit. Sounds like early Foreigner/Shooting Star/38 Special midwest AOR. The intro to "Youngblood" sounds like a blueprint for "Eye of the Tiger". "Somewhere in America" is absolutely first-rate & was the well-deserved single choice. If dated production doesn't bother you, then pick up this enjoyable CD. I like it even better than their followup "Premonition". Thankfully, both were reissued but seek out the Japanese pressing of "s/t" with "Rebel Girl".

Hi AOR freaks !! Anybody interested to sell his Japanese version of the s/t Survivor album ? Or to do an exchange-trade ? I can offer the original release in great condition and of course a lot more AOR gems. If that's the case please leave a message here. Thx

This was my last Survivor album to hear, and it certainly is a lot different that the rest. This one reminds me more of a power pop/straight ahead rock band than the aor sound we would know to come and love. "Somewhere In America" is a standout and the rest is pretty consisten through out. 7/10

Hora de comentar a una leyenda, a un icono en todo lo que es el origen del Aor, pues es mi banda favorita SURVIVOR!!! y empezando con tremendo albun en ese entonces creo que ah sido el favorito de muchos jovenes Aor. escuchando el albun una y otra vez no cave duda que Survivor es una Joya Absoluta del Aor, mis temas Favoritos "YoungBlood" y Whote Town's Talkin'" bellos temas.

The best Survivor album, period. I like all of their stuff but this album has it all. Great vocals, Franke playing killer riffs and great back up vox. I like the Bickler fronted tunes better than Jamison because the music has alot more punch. AOR at it's best.

From: Kim HP	Date: December 17, 2008 at 12:37
Not their best IMO, but certainly a good album. "Somewhere In America" and "Whole Town's Talkin" are outstanding and shows a good indication of the more straight AOR direction they would take on the next release. But this is a good, consistent release and I even rate it higher than the "Eye Of The Tiger" album. Highly recommended.

Decent album, but not much my taste [Vital Signs]. Overall it's a nice start.

From: tomdwa	Date: March 28, 2020 at 10:17
Not a bad debut at all, and the start of a success story. Whole town's talking and Nothing can shake me (from your love) are my personal favorites here, songs that show promise for a bright future.

sensational debut for SURVIVOR back in 79 with great hard rock sound and many fine songs like "somewhere in america","whole town s talking","freelance","nothing can shake me" and "youngblood"!more guitar driven than the rest of their catalogue ,lets Frankie shows his skills in guitar riffs as well and i guess that fans of BAD COMPANY & FOREIGNER will really dig this wonderful album!
