| Muy buen trabajo el de estos australianos, junto a su 2º disco "Touch" lo mejor que han grabado, su 3º "Love vs. Money" baja un tanto la calidad pero dentro de unos margenes mas que aceptables. Este para mi es su mejor trabajo, rock melodico radiable, sonido ochentero, buena producción y muy buenas composiciones como "Take me Back", "Love Somebody","Welcome to the World" por nombrar algunas. No olvidaros de su 2º trabajo "touch" si os gustó este.

| Very hi-tech, a la Eight Seconds, yet not as classy. More like an AOR-sounding Simple Minds or Depeche Mode. Slick production with pounding drums and airy guitars make this album sound bigger than it is. Don't get me wrong, this is good and deserves to be heard. "Take Me Back" and "Welcome To The World" are excellent stabs at hi-tech AOR.

| This is more pop sort of stuff, like INXS or something rather than melodic rock but I will not question it's worth here because 'Take me back' is simply one of the ebst songs I have ever heard in my entire life. A chilling song that gets me everytime and I cannot speak high enough of. 'No lies' is very cool too. I just burnt those two tracks and got rid of the rest of the CD.

Good AOR album, claro que si un Buen album de AOR o Hi-Tech AOR para los mas entendidos, ni siquiera lo dudes este lo tienes que tener de todas maneras, en algunos temas suenan algo a Simple Minds o INXS, tremendos cortes como  Take Me Back, No Lies, It's Time(mis favoritos), Love Somebody, Burning Feeling hacen un gran album, solo el tener los 3 mencionados ya paga el album, good adquisicion a tu coleccion de AOR. mientras mas te adentras te das cuenta que menos sabes. Recomendado.

| Good CD, very melodic. I agree with Geoff, sounds a bit like INXS.

| This is an excellent Hi Tech AOR album!. This band´s music goes in the sound direction of groups like WHITE HEAT, SIMPLE MINDS, THE ARROWS and of course INXS. The singer`s voice is very similar to Michael Hutchence(RIP) and this album has a very contagius style, catchy songs and great songs like "Burning Feeling", "No Lies" and the awesome "Take Me Back". You gotta listen it!

Wonderful debut!!!...brilliant release and if you like aussie bands(1927,Icehouse,INXS) then Noiseworks will suit you fine  ..."Burning Feeling" is a  one,a highlight,"Love Somebody" excellent,"Take Me Back" AORish ,"No Lies"(a hit single) & "Edge Of Darkness" are both also excellent songs,"Little Bit More" rocks,"Only Loving You"(reminded me strongly to Icehouse) & "It's Time" ends the album as a great song with a smoothie yet solid beat,liked it a lot...a good choice!.95/100

| I dunno but back in 87 I didn't peg this as simply AOR perhaps lead tune BurningFeeling came the closest, subjective of course but this Noiseworks debut managed to break outta that box, instead going for a more PopRock approach. Regardless of labels this was a magnificent release quickly picked up on by the masses and rightly so. The pop shine of NoLies kicked this off only to be improved upon by followup singles such as the stellar TakeMeBack (a song often misunderstood, actually relates to the passing of a good friend "I watched you wave goodbye as you drove away, I didn't realize it would be your last, time with me") & the powerful lyrics & delivery of LoveSomebody & WelcomeToTheWorld. Other highlights are It'sTime & RiverOfTears both soft in sound but big on emotion & conviction thanks to vocal supreme JonStevens, forever securing himself as one of Aus' finest voices! StuFrazer, in fact whole band quality musicians... More pop than sophomore Touch but still an absolute treasure!

| No Lies, Welcome to the World and especially Take Me Back are reason enough to get this album. I wouldn't call it AOR as such, it is more like commercial rock. However, Noiseworks were a hard working tour band who played the pub circuit so they could certainly rock. Maybe this album has too much of a pop sheen in the production? I don't care as it is great stuff. After two more successful albums following this debut, they split up. Jon Stevens went solo and two other members started a new group called Electric Hippies. Neither new act were any good. All three Noiseworks albums are worthwhile but I have a real soft spot for this one, mostly because Take Me Back is one of my all time favourites. 85/100
