| James LaBrie, the voice of Dream Theater, doing straight ahead, hook-heavy hard rock. Love it! A must-have for DT fans.

| Fantastic! James LaBrie has one of the best voices ever! Find this album , buy it, steal it if you have too. Great up tempo rock and roll. There is nothing bad to say about this album at all. Wow!

| Totally agree. I stumbled across a song from this on Napster(when it was untainted) I had to find the rest of the cd and paid $32 for it. Great harmonies and musicianship on this one. Any AOR or Hard rock fan must find this cd and grab it.

| Any body not liking this album shoudl get their ears tested. Its not DT stuff but ass kicking James with a ass kicking backup. I wish he still did this stuff coz I lost my taste with DT after Images and words. Hate that over-the-hill progressive shit. THIS IS ASS KICKING!!!!!

| What a wonderful album. This came out in 89 and should have been huge. It fit in great with Bon Jovi, Def Leppard,Skid Row,BadEnglish.....all the great hard rock act's of the 80's and early 90's. This rates as one of the best 'unknown' albums of the decade where rock ruled the radio and video stations.

| Sounds like something James LaBrie's snobby current bandmates in Dream Theater--a.k.a. Wank Theater--would sneer at. He probably gets no end of shit from them about it and would like to pretend he never did it.

| Excellent Melodic rock album!! Vocalist is amazing... The only song I ever liked by dream theatre was 'Pull me under'... This is where James LaBrie belonged!! He sounded sooo much better in Winter Rose than Dream theatre... :-)

| I agree with Gringo and Motley- LaBrie should have stuck with this style. Great music.

| Pretty good stuff, though 'I'll Never Fall In Love Again' is a ripoff of Survivor's 'I Can't Hold Back'.

| Way better than anything Dream Theatre ever did, in my opinion of course. Good release. Check it out!

| AH nothing like Canadian eh!! I see why American bands look to Canada for highly rated musicians such as James Labrie. Outstanding octave range and a natural vocalist. Dream Theatre needs to get back to melodic rock like Winter Rose did with this album.

| One great cd...The vocals are the best, I've ever heard from james much like the original vocalist domanic of Dream Theatre...You can hear why he was the obvious replacement...The guiterist is great too. I think he blows away john petrucci...I think james and Dream Theater need to back to there roots...

| Love this album. Great vocals ! My time is my favorite song. Was not aware this band became Dream Theater. Man when are they changing back again to Winter Rose. Sooooo much better.

| I love this album so much. The style makes me want to cry since I am a big fan of 80's rock. LaBrie does such good work with the vocals and I think he's even better than in Dream Theater. This CD, you MUST have.

| What a mischievious release! Who'd have picked it? The vocals are amazing and remind me of Sebastian Bach at times, though of course the mighty Labrie has his own identity. For me the album trades gem for filler, but even the fillers are still cool pieces of hard rock without needing to be skipped. 'I'll Never Fall In Love Again' is as good as melodic hard rock ever gets, 'One Last Time' is actually one of my favourite songs of all time and 'Saved By Love' is another flawless fave of mine.

| Heh. I just downloaded this in a trade and I can't wait to hear it. I never even knew it existed. Very cool. Labrie did a melodic metal album?! Why the hell didn't anyone tell me? lol.

| Once again, I find myself chiming in with previous posts. Everyone has summed it up nicely. Dream Theater fans may be puzzled, but 80s metal fans will eat this up. Rough Boys (what a voice!), Never Let Me Go, and Saved By Love (ballad) were my personal favorites. Pretty rare find from what I've heard, so grab it if you run across it. Very recommended.

Anyway-totally agree with everyone--if you see it -GET IT! Awesome melodic songs and just great vocals!If anyone has a copy --I'll pay! (just like everyone else)lol diktater66@hotmail.com

| I can't stand Dream Theater but for one song and even it's too damn long and artsy to fully entertain me. So if you're thinking this will sound like that, think again. Winter Rose should have enjoyed at the very least modest success, they're better than 800f what was put out there and marketed ad nauseum. James LaBrie was onto something cool here, too bad he went on to DT. For us fans of this genre anyway.check out 'my time'. it's on my daily playlist right now.

| James LaBrie is good here , awesome with DT or in his solo album. The man is a great singer and no one can deny that , hard rock and progressive Metal ,perfect voice for both bands , period.

| I've always been a fan of LaBrie, even with the barrage of criticism he gets. It's honestly impressive vocal qualities from him so soon! This album is very cohesive and contains many hooks that stick together for a long time. Album highly recommended by lovers of Glam Metal. For those who like something more melodic, you will also like it because there are beautiful ballads here.

| Seriously?! What's with all the hate for Dream Theater? DT doesn't have to suck for this album to be good. Nor, does DT sneer at this album. It's why James got the job singing in DT. Several members of DT have side projects in this vein, because you can like more than one thing. I love Vain & Tryx, but I also Love Megadeth & Dream Theater. You guys (and the rest of the country) need to stop with all the hate of things you don't like or don't understand; that is how a certain evil orange politician got elected and split the nation. Maybe it's time to stop with all the hate!!!

| Not sure I also equate somebody having a different taste in music with politics. Alas, for some everything has to be political these days. The good news is, you can love or hate Dream Theatre all you like and say as much in an album review and it doesn't make you a Republican or a Democrat!!!
