Aug. 20, 2025: Temporary Message Board Closure The company hosting the message board sprung a surprise price hike on me that would have more than tripled the monthly hosting costs, so I've been scrambling to find an alternative. I've purchased a license for self-hosting a different platform and am hiring a consultant to migrate the existing board's content (posts, user profiles, etc.). However, this means I need to shut down the message board for anywhere from 3 days to (hopefully less than) a week so the data can be migrated. While this is an expensive proposition up front, it should result in some long-term savings. The current message board will be closed down at some point this Saturday, August 23. I will post updates here. The main site (where you are reading this), will NOT be affected. -Dan

Not as great as their previous album but this one is a Good Melodic Rock/AOR anyway.. Opportunity Knocks can be surely described as an unreleased third album because was released by MP3.COM. Tracks 1,2,3,4,6,10 are my favorites but "Secret Dreams"(beatiful ballad) and "Tell Me Why" are excellent piece of music. Donīt forget about two main names here eh.. 8/10

Very average AOR. The best tracks here (as juan carlos noticed) are the first 2, but they were done a 100 times better on Franke & The Knockouts '84 effort anyway. "Love Comes Easy" is another above average track highlighted by a slendid Survivor-style chorus. The rest of this album is a rather bland affair and I'm not even sure if most of these tracks should be called AOR at all. Conclusion, get Franke's album and stay away from this one (unless you need every AOR album ever released).
