El comentario de este disco lo empezaré por donde normalmente los suelo acabar,asi pues...JOYITA DEL AOR 80.De hecho es uno de mis disco favoritos y es que en el encuentro practicamente todo lo que demando:elegancia,clase,exquisitez,buen gusto,producción,teclados,guitarras y claro está melodia y calidad,mucha calidad.Es una pena que su metamorfosis musical llegará un tanto tarde por que visto lo visto está claro que fuimos privados de por lo menos un par de discos de semejantes dimensiones.9/10.

Wonderfull album. Beautiful, happy melodies, sometimes near pop but generally it's pure aor album. Well this is one of my favourites happy aor albums, get it you won't regret. This is what 80's was about .

This CD Totally blew me away when i first recieved it in the mail a few weks ago. This CD is indeed a undiscovered AOR Gem. It makes me wonder why this CD wasn't a huge seller in 1989. A big thanks goes out to EBAY's own recordjnky for me to have this Cd in my collection.The songs i like on here are #1,2,3 the heck with it i love them all lol!

Este si que no lo tengo, pensar que tienen ese tema Funky Town con ese sonido, jamas pense que tengan un album de AOR, por eso quiza nunca les tome importancia. a ver si alguien se apiada y me lo podria mandar para probarlo que me da mucha curiosidad, somebody can send me this one to my mail, thanks a lot. dalton787@yahoo.es or moucherry@hotmail.com

What a great AOR cd. I admit I had my doubts at first knowing the music they played outside of AOR but I gave it a shot because I found it in the cheap bin of a used cd store. I was blown away at how good this cd is. I am glad they took the Bon Jovi approach to their music. There are no fillers on this cd just great AOR songs that are catchy & Brian Canham wears the guitar out with his awesome solos! Get it you won't regret it.

Para mi humilde gusto, simplemente un buen disco. Musicos desconocidos pero brillantes, y temas realmente interesantes... A.O.R. puro del año "fronterizo" d 1989 (q Dios lo Bendiga) Ojala se hicieran Joyitas asi actualmente... Para puristas del A.O.R!! Proximamente, pondre una pekeña lista con discos d AOR y WEST/COAST, q por algun extraño motivo no estan en esta fantastica pag. Y hay la tira!! Haber si algun alma caritativa me ayuda a confeccionar la lista d estos grupos d AOR...

realmente es un disco bastante bueno, yo de ellos tengo un segundo album llamado Love and adventure, que es mucho mas popero aunque tiene un par de temas bastante aceptables. aortrade@yahoo.es

Primero mis gracias totales a Jose por este disco realmente me demostraste que eres un verdadero CAMPEON, Great and Fantastic AOR album, si señores era lo que esperaba un Superalbum muy completo con todo lo que se busca en un album de AOR, para mi en las mismas venas y casi al nivel del Indiscreet de FM(Uno de los mejores discos de AOR y el mejor para muchos) y tambien con mucha influencia del sonido Canadiense de esa epoca que mas se puede decir con 2 similitudes como esa sabes lo que te espera

Ahora lo que mas me gusta la eleccion de temas, aunque todo el album es completo aca van mis 2 cortes favoritos Over Tomorrow y Take On The World los que mas me gustaron e impactaron, de cerca nomas 4 cortes de gran nivel como Fooled Again, Caught, Eye Of The Storm, Imagination Runaways y Don't you forget tambien tienen un buen gusto, cortes que hacen un TREMENDO album de AOR, asi que este album es otro IMPRESCINDIBLE en tu coleccion, un saludo a todos los Legendarios

Pseudo Echo? I couldn't find a cheese grater big enough for their Funkytown cover. Until today, I thought of them as another disposable post-new wave synth band/one-hit wonder. Then I played Race. WOW! Big surprise! I couldn't believe my ears as Ya-Ya/FM style AOR poured into my ears. Funky what? That's right- if 80s textbook AOR is your thing, you'll love this guitar-driven feel-good monster! Just bury your pre-conceived ideas of this band & listen with an open mind. You won't be disappointed!

GREAT AOR ALBUM! Un disco de AOR a toda ley: gran manejo de teclados, guitarras dinámicas y agradables, voz eficiente(sin llegar a ser un portento de voz, pero muy bien colocada) y composiciones de gran calidad, tal es el caso de "Fooled Again", el dulce medio tiempo "Over Tomorrow"; la sensacional "Caught" de gran coro y teclas. En fin, un excelente disco que por momentos roza los caminos del buen Pop que se hacía los 80s, hablamos de 1988. Por supuesto, SUPER RECOMENDADO!!!

From: lalorock	Date: July 8, 2007 at 17:37
Excelente disco AOR con toques new wave, estilo parecido a los canadienses Frozen Ghost, grandes temas como Caught(mi favorita)con esos teclados maravillosos,Fooled Again posee unas melodías increíbles al igual Over Tomorrow,Taking of the world y ese final excelente de Eye of the storm, quien diría que un grupo de pop pudiera cambiarse a este estilo que tanto nos gusta,bien por la música ...9/10.

Imagination es una autentica Pasada!! por cierto disco del 89'!! Brutal!!

ESTE DISCO ES IMPRESIONANTE. LO QUE HALLAN HECHO EN EL PASADO NO IMPORTA, ESTO ES AOR EN SU ESPLENDOR:LA PRIMERA VEZ QUE ESCUCHE FOOLED AGAIN ME DEJO ESE RIFF MAGICO POR VARIAS SEMANAS POCAS CANCIONES TAN REPRESENTATIVAS,OVER TOMORROW AOR DE BUENA MANUFACTURA,CAUGHT COMO LO DICE EL TITULO TE ATRAPA,IMAGINATION PEGAJOSA,DE AQUI EN ADELANTE BAJA POCO EL NIVEL Y ES QUE SI NO PASARA ESO SERIA LO MEJOR EN AOR, SEARCHING FOR A GLORY PODRIA SER DE CUALQUIER SOUNDTRACK 80'S.

TAKE ON THE WORLD BUENA, LA INSTRUMENTAL METROPOLIS EN UN PLANO MAS YES DE LOS TIEMPOS DE TREVOR RABIN, EYE OF THE STORM CUMPLE. LARGA VIDA AL HARD-AOR.

From: Espartaco	Date: December 18, 2007 at 3:32
Tremendo disco de aor!!! Cada canción tiene ese gancho necesario para hacerte llorar de alegria!!No entiendo como sus fanaticos provenientes del Pop le dieron la espalda a este excelente trabajo!! Este disco con una mejor difusión se hubiera convertido en un clasico del género!!! Saludos para todos!! Espartaco-Rosario-Argentina-

Pseudo Echo, que decir de este album , es una super joya de AOR, "Over Tomorrow" y "Take on the World" la cancion de mi pata Joe, estos 2 temas hacen que este album sea extraordinario..10/10

Excellent album by a band that is best known by being a New Wave/Pop act..is incredible how this band put up such a great AOR album here..probably a mystery of nature,hahaha!...what i can think is that at that year (1988)England was having a big explosion of AOR acts (FM,Dare and so on) and Australia (an ex colony of England)got all these influences..somehow the band was caught by this magnificent sound and recorded this..i mean if you ask about this band to a person they will immediately think of the hit cover of "Funky Town" or "living In A Dream" and hardly know about the existance of this album..anyway let's go to the point,"Fooled Again" opens the fire with excellance,"Over Tomorrow" is amazing love it,"Imagination" is a highlight,"Don't You" great,"Runnaways" nice ballad,"Searching For a Glory" another blast and "Metropolis" is far the best song in here(at least 4 me).You can grab a cd in E-bay as there are some sellers that have this one.Buy it,you won't regret it!.92/100

del new wave al aor vaya baya que se trazaron, claro ya eran fines de los 80s, y no podian seguir haciendo musica para mariquitas.

Wait, what... the Funky Town blokes are on here?!

From: aTomiK	Date: June 4, 2021 at 15:08
They are and rightfully so, this is a very good melodic rock/aor disc. And btw, i enjoy reading your comments Auslander so keep on posting the reviews/opinions here. I know that i should do it more often.
