| i didn't give this disc much of a chance after hearing the opener 'bang the drum' because of the def leppard, bon jovi approach..but the other songs on this disc show what talented musicians were involved in warp drive. Songs like 'crying girl ( in the tradion of the finest Mr big songS), 'Eyes on you (excellent axe work), 'I 4 U (amazing ballad),'take me now' and 'stay on , stay on' have such an original approach that i was totally hooked on this album way back in 1990 and i still am, GREAT CD

| FANTASTIC!!.great album indeed!.this one just brings me fond memories from the 80's.i would describe this guys as a mixture of bonfire with def leppard. mark woerpel is such a deadringer for clauss lessman that i actually think he could fill his shoes anytime.the material it's quite consistent throughout the whole album and the production is pretty good too,i suggest you get this pronto if you dig any of the bands i mentioned above.a couple of spins and you'll be hooked...i guarantee it!!.

| An underrated example of great melodic rock form the Eighties: Warp Drive was ignored, even if the year of the release of 'Gimme Gimme' (1989)was the best moment for melodic rock, with a lot of great albums... Try to get this one, you'll not be disappointed!

| Hey rythymslave go to http://www.motorcityrock.com/bands/bands_d.html -the site is called Motor City Rock 1980-1990 if you look under warp drive you'll find this entire album available for download-free. While you're there check out tons of other killer bands like Halloween,Seduce,Madam X-if you have the time and a fast connection you can find lots of good stuff on there.

| I'm a bit worried to say this with the big score above, but I actually found this CD to be nothing worthy of speaking about at all. Not horrid, and home to some great hard rock riffs, but just well below standard (or close to it) to these ears. Okay hard rock, but wouldn't get more than a 6/10 or so from me.

| There are some real long-lost gems on Music For Nations, but this sure isn't one of them. Think it was an OTT Kerrang! review at the time that convinced me to buy this. Have no idea where the Def Leppard comparison comes from (because it has some guitar in it?), for me this is like a harder-rocking 'The Creek'. It's pretty original sounding but they don't have the tunes to carry it off, and opener 'Bang the Drum' is horrific. Duller than a long weekend in Belgium. 4/10.

| Did felt the Def Leppard approach on Bang The Drum. Like what one would hear on Hysteria. But after that, it's one rock 'n roll hell of a ride! Enjoyed this very much.

| If I Remember I Picked This 1 Up Quite Cheap..Decent Hard Rock..With A Glam Image...I Was Not Dissapointed When I First Heard This Cd For The 1st Time...Very Suprised..Very Talented Musicians..8/10 for Me...

| It's good hard rock but they miss of somethin'....I find this cd decent but all songs are little weak without any remarkable riff or great hooks.6.5/10 is the right rate I think.

| Gemeni fans be alert!!! When I was writing my comments on Gemeni the other day I knew there was a band which sounded very similar, and this is them. Both scantily produced hard rock efforts with a few decent songs here and there, but neither too great IMO. Fans of one will appreciate the other though.

| agree with T-Bone and other reviewers here. For me this is decent at best. They sure do have an original sound, and the production is pretty good too, but even after several repeated listens I still have trouble remembering the songs. But check it out for yourself, and see what you think...

| Some harsh comments here. Very incorrect i must say. I found some excellent songs on the disc: Killer ballad with I4U, great rock songs with Moments Away, Take Take me Now, Rock's the Boat, Stay On Stay On, Making time stand Still and the fantastic commercial hit potential closure Cover Me. Very nice disc. Good voice 81/100

| Very good album that mixes Hard Rock and AOR in a balanced way...probably is like a hybrid of XYZ,Blue Murder and Blue Tears.."Bang The Drum" is a cool track with a nice short but consistent backing vocals,"Moments Away" is a very good track,"I4y" is a decent AOR song,"Words" a good ballad,"Eyes On You" is an excellent solid track with some great drumming,bass and guitar execution,one of the highlights of the album 4 sure,"Rock 'n The Boat" is another goodie and the last 3 songs "Stay On Stay On","Making Time Stand Still" & "Cover Me" are top notch AOR tracks,these songs made me want to listen more of these guys stuff but no more than 11 songs on the album(wonder if the album was longer in length,what would have they offered us?).Just a band that released this album but never continue...if there's a second release just let me know as this is the only record i've known of them.88/100

| Another one that gets mixed reviews. First let me say I have the original 1988 issue on Nalli Records out of Ann Arbor, MI.. Up-tempo hard rock that has it's moments. There is no doubt these guys were tallented and should have had a follow up release. You have heard it all before but these guys tried and gave it a decent effort.

| From: smiley89 |
Date: August 27, 2010 at 12:15 |
| By the way. The original has only 10 tracks. Track 11 "Cover Me" is not on the Nalli records release.

| Another side note. The original that I have shows (on back insert) that "Rick Medlocke" of "Blackfoot" fame not only sings on this one, he also helped produce it!

| Excellent debut for WARP DRIVE that sometimes is ahead of its time with those difficult and beatiful melodic lines that keep the interest high in every note!the performance is very good,warm vocals , great guitars parts almost every Where and very strong songs!surely among the best indies
