| These poppy hard rockers went to form the much better, much harder Wall of Silence. Some good tracks on this CD include 'Slave to the Thrill' and 'Love is a Dangerous Weapon'. Fans of The Explorers, Nuthouse-era Haywire or In n' Out will find this enjoyable.

| This is a damn fine CD and worth your money ! But Koogles has it right, they went into Wall Of Silence, and that one is a real WINNER. Harder, but very melodic ! A MUST HAVE !!!!!

| Was expecting more - but again - totally disappointed - didn't like this disc at all - thank god they went on to make the 'Wall Of Silence' which is 10x better - bypass this and grab 'Shock To The System' by Wall Of Silence.

| All three members of this great Canadian AOR group, formed Wall of silence a few years after this release, extending their brilliant reign as some of Canada's top AOR/hard rock songwriters. This cd features music they wrote as 'The Works' throughout the late 80s. Full of energy and high-octane choruses in the Explorers-Honeymoon Suite-Harem Scarem vein.

| Long Island actually released this together with the Wall of Silence 'Shock to the System' on 1 CD, in their classics series. That's the one to have if you don't have either CD....

| Hair Metal Again: Man, sometimes I scratch my head. First you say "not many big songs but a solid whole," and then you say it's an "amazing" record with many "sensational songs." Which is it?

| The other comments seem to keep comparing this to the Wall of Silence album without actually reviewing this. This frustrated me enough to get this album myself so I could listen for myself. It's certainly not as good as Wall of Silence but it has its own distinct sound I think which I actually like a lot. The opener is very decent with excellent drums and heavy bass; I especially like the vocals too. Wild Reaction is a fast-paced rocker with a Loverboy kind of feel to it. Dancing on a Wing is also very melodic and the guitars are super. Broadway Jane took me by surprise when I first heard it; for me, sax has to be done just right for it to work, otherwise it can ruin a song, but here it works very well; the vocals are extremely catchy too and I'd have to say, this is my favourite off the album. Miss Perfection is another one with catchy vocals and a decent rhythm to keep me interested. Slave To The Thrill is probably my second favourite and is another fast-paced rocker.

| Fool to love You is probably my least favourite: I don't think the song is cohesive enough as it sounds all over the place. Standing On Shaky Ground gets things going again and is yet another fast-paced rocker with those wonderful vocals again. Robbery has the best solo on the disc by far and will satisfy the ears. The album ends on a high note with a semi-ballad of sorts with Sherri's Gone which I think lasts slightly too long; the vocals and guitars are passionate enough to excuse this I think though. I think a lot of people unfairly compare this with the more straight-ahead melodic rock sound of Wall of Silence (the singer, the guitarist and the keyboardist went on to that band) which I think is a shame because this album is full of highlights and should be judged (like anything really) on its own merit. A very good album in its own right.

| Doghouse Reilly : i guess is the way i feel ...listening to THE WORKS makes me realize this is a great band ,but on the other hand with "no big songs" i mean that they couldnt write down songs that were on from other bands back in 89 !"sensational" and"no big" arent opposites my friend!
