| This was my top release of 1999 and what a release it was. Stan the man is on top form as usual, ably supported by Peter Fredette (Kim Mitchell Band). Rob is quite right in his comments, so i will say no more, apart from BUY BUY BUY

| Uno de esos discos actuales que valen la pena escuchar,buenos temas y una producción en condiciones(menos mal).El disco es AOR con cierto sentido del ritmo,quizás mas que los discos de Stan Meissner en solitario,aunque como tema favorito personal me quedo con el baladón que cierra el disco,Power Of The Night.Asi que clasicones del AOR de toda la vida este disco esta BASTANTE COMPETENTE.

| Really, really good album , very well produced. Metropolis is something in TOTO vain, stan messner had done great oj on vocals. It's very melodic stuff, my favourite tracks -The Power of the Night and eyes of the love, but there is no bad song on it, everything on this cd rock from first track to last one.

| This is magnificent. Great sound, great hooks and the vocals will rock you out. All the songs are catchy and have a wonderful flow to the melodies. Highly recommended. Stan and Peter - another great team - likes of Seventh Key. Very good. Production is fantastic.

| The majority of this is superb AOR, mid-paced a majority of the time, and the hooks are incredible. Anywhere within these songs are delicious moments of sheer class, whether it be the intro's, verses, lead-ins/bridges, choruses .. whatever. Songs such as effortless 'Restless Moon', the stabbing piano/ keyboard attack of 'The Darkest Side Of The Night', and 'A Million Miles Away' keep coming back for more.

| Absolutely killer AOR. I remember hearing "Darkest Side of the Night" on one of the ten-thousand Friday 13th films, but almost every other track is as good. "Never Look Back" is my fave, but this changes regularly! A masterpiece, buy anything with Stan Meissner's name on it and you won't regret it. 10/10.

| "Since you've gone, I've learned to face the truth... Now I'm wild and blue!" Just to ensure my stature as a moron I had to get that out of my system. Haven't heard this for a while, but 'Wild and blue' just blows my mind. Killer tune. Elsewhere, the majority of this album is pretty damn good melodic rock. Nothing comes close to the album opener, but still a very good CD.

| A very good and solid album! "Wild and blue", "The darkest side of the night" and "Running after a dream" are excellent songs! A good friend of mine said that this album is his favourite album to listen to in the middle of the night.. =) The album title says it all...very nice..

| Metropolis is a great band!!! Fredette sings very well. The version of "Wild and Blue" is good (Meissner sings well too in a version of 86). "The Darkest Side of the Night" is a classic!!! It is theme from 'Friday the 13th - Jason Takes Manhattan' (1989). To me, "Never Look Back" is one of the best this CD. A great rock song!!! I wait that the Metropolis release other album soon. It has a perfect music style. Pure AOR!!!

| This cd has an incredible vibrant array of many memorable tunes. Each song distinctively captures the true essence of high class AOR. Nothing here is out of place. Each note & beat comprising the melodies are distinctively in place, while the vocals & harmonies are perfectly executed with conviction. Any melodic rocker or AOR fan will appreciate this tremendous gem given to the genre. Essential Listening.

| Great AOR album con eso todo esta dicho, pero la mediocridad de los humanos por no merecer este hermoso mundo no solo es de esta epoca eso se arrastra hace miles de años, desde la epoca de Jesus los Medievales y demas epocas, que mierda se creian los romanos y demas pueblos poderosos de arrasar y matar a los demas violar a las mujeres hacer orgias y demas porquerias solo por tener el poder puedes hacer lo que te de la gana, y los reyes que mataban y podian tomar a cualquier mujer como si...

El Fenix personalmente vera que todos tengan lo que se merecen Cielo o Infierno por siempre

| Elegante & full melodico no puedo catalogarlo mejor, guitarras durazas, melodias gloriosas y buenas composiciones pal genero no se puede pedir menos...no fue necesario incluir un cover ("Black and Blue" okey pero que quedo con Meissner) pues a mi juicio todos los temas estan a la altura de clasicos AOR, y rayos!! encuentro a "Never look back" con un estilo que siempre quise escucharlo en Foreigner. Meissner & Fredette hicieron un excelente trabajo (aunque el demo es de 1987) D-I-S-C-A-Z-O!!!!

| Clarísimo como el agua manantial! Vaya Genio el Gran Stan Meissner! Multi-Instrumentista AORero de Primera que deja la labor vocal al impresionante Peter Fredette. Lo tenía hace tiempo en copia con el Bonus Japones(Love & Desire Bueno!) pero me lo compré a precio módico el CD Europeo. "Restless Moon" Que Balada Impresionante! mi Súper-Favorita, "Running After a Dream" "Walk Through the Fire" "The Best Is Good Enough"(Inicio a lo Journey pero Total!), "Never Look Back"(Bruce Turgon de Foreigner..

| ayuda en la composición), "Whatever It Is"(como engancha mucho éste tema, mientras mas se escucha..) "Wild And Blue"(ya hecha en su 2º album solista)... La única que la hubiera obviado sería "A Million Miles Away" o mejorado en todo caso(buen tema pero no al nivel del resto). "The Power of the Night" me recordó horrores a toad The Wet Sprocket por esa melancolía tan típica de ellos. Imperdible Discazo. 9.6/10

| I couldn´t find the time to comment this album, but well it´s better later than never and here we are. Great AOR, some consider this one of the best, in my opinion maybe it is not that way, but we have great songs here, beautiful keyboards, a solid album and i think the best tracks here are: "Wild & Blue"(vibrant song); "Restless Moon" and the romantic and melancholic "The Power Of The Night" which in fact rises this album up to a very high level.

| Solid album with great songs,an album that you can listen as many times as you want without getting bored..the ones i liked the most were "The Darkest Side Of The Night","Never Look Back","Walk Through The Fire" and "Whatever It Is"..another goodies are tracks 1,5(nice ballad)and 10...if you like the quiet side of the AOR but without being Westcoast or Lite then you can dig this.91/100

| I gave this album a chance by listening to it while driving, but found myself growing ever more irritated as the trite, hokey cliches piled up song after song. These lyrics suck big time - sappy cliche upon sappy cliche. Maybe some people like bland, familiar expressions masquerading as lyrics, but this stuff was seemingly written on auto-pilot. It's so pedestrian and uninspired, it makes Keel seem like Shakespeare by comparison. If you think this tripe is anything remotely resembling thoughtful, intelligent lyrics, then you're far too easily satisfied. Peter Fredette's work with Kim Mitchell is miles above this limp, tepid nonsense. It's no wonder there wasn't a follow-up - even record exec's probably lost their lunch after sitting through such a sloppy misuse of words. No edge; no bite; no teeth - nothing. Meandering fluff, at best.

| This is a great record, good sound, good performance, Stan and Peter did a great job, nothing original but very well done, Wild and Blue and Restless Moon are my favorites. Una obra excelente de este dueto canadiense al más puro AOR de primer nivel, una dosis de buena música que deja satisfechos a los amantes de este género con una interpretación impecable.

| Wow, totally forgot about this. Dug it out just the other day and it's still totally amazing. If you like the lighter side of AOR and you like the work of Stan Meissner then this is just for you. I remember the first time i heard 'Restless Moon' all those years ago and it tore my heart out, WHAT A SONG. Eyes Of Love, Never Look Back are also right up there. This whole release is first class, right at the top of the tree. If you can find this then buy immediately. Almost a perfect 10.

| Definitely an AOR, melodic rock favorite and about as close to perfect as it gets for this style. Can listen to this disc from top to bottom without skipping any tracks but favs include 2,4,6,9 Great stuff
