| Fastway "Jump's the Shark" officially after this disc. They introduce keyboards to their sound and it spells the end of this hard rockin band. The first two discs are both great. AFU is the best, too bad it is so hard to find. I actually bought WFTR in the 80's and couldn't believe their sound totally changed. I traded it for an Aerosmith disc or something like that.

| A change in direction for the band, but I did enjoy this. The 3 albums before this one (includes Trick or Treat Soundtrack) were awesome. This one was different and if someone expected the same, it was a letdown. I expected a change after Trick or Treat as I had read a few articles therefore I actually enjoyed this one.

| NOT, I repeat, NOT worth 36.00!! Not saying that to be a wise-ass as I love Fastway but just trying to save the casual Fastway fan a few bucks here. Basically a Dave King solo album and "Fast" Eddie, along with no songwriting credits, plays like he doesn't want any association with this. Take away the guitar on the first 5 songs and you basically have a 80's Fixx or Duran Duran album. HUGE 80's alternative modern rock sound here. Dave can sing the shit out of it but this is NOT Fastway!!!

| I don't know what to say about this besides what the hell happened to the guitars? It's not that the songs are bad, but it doesn't come with the signature Fastway riffs. King still sings well. Maybe it should have been released under a name. The cover tune is pretty cool.

| This was one hell of a rock n roll ride. Dave king blows most vocalists away, and Clark was superb. Little too much keyboards tho. All in all, a great listen from beginning to end!!! Rock on!!!!

| Auf diesem Album ist die Band absolut nicht wiederzuerkennen. Obwohl man auf diesem Album mehr Keyboard als alles anderes hört, finde ich es trotzdem GROßARTIG. Richtig "Gute-Laune-Disco-Rock" im typischen Stil der 80er. Ein Juwel von Fastway.

| We used to call this one Waiting for the bore because it is painfully dull. Fast Eddie was great in Motorhead. The first two Fastway albums are decent enough and the Trick or Treat soundtrack is great, but this one is pretty bad.

| I am one of those crazy fans trying to find this on cd. It's a great cd! Sure. the keyboards are a bit of a shock but the music is still great! 'World Waits for You' is classic! 'Tired of Your Love' 'Back Door Man' and 'Rock On' are other standout tracks. It's a good album, with solid musicianship, even if it sounds more like 80's Rush than FAstway. It's hard to go wrong with King and Clarke together. Too bad this was the last one.

| This album was a major shock when I first heard it. I had bought this, S/T and A.F.U. at the same time. I listened to them in order of release date and was really enjoying things until I put this in. I popped the taped out and checked to make sure it was Fastway, then I thought someone had recorded over it. Then I realized that yes, it was unfortunatly Fastway. Tired of Your Love is my fav track off of an otherwise boring album. Krokus made a similiar move on Change of Address a year later.

| Keyboards killed the MTV star. This is another sell out brought on by the corporate money promising goons. Might as well add MTV into the mix, that's what they wanted, also. Bands like this forgot who bolted them to the top.

| I can see why some dont' care for this one, but it's my favorite of their albums. They don't go overboard on the keys, and the songs are stronger & more consistent than on any other Fastway album. If I didn't already have it I'm not sure I'd pay $40 on Ebay- but I might. Sound quality also tops any other their other discs; the producer got a great sound out of them.

| As others have said... this disc seems to be a change in direction. That isn't always a bad thing. The keys are obvious, but they don't over-power the rest of the disc (my opinion only). There are a few songs that seem to be filler on this one, but over-all a very good cd.If anyone wants to get a copy, I do have cdrs to trade. This seems to be getting harder and harder to get ahold of... Dave

| Great Melodic Hard Rock/AOR album, cuando me preguntan cual es tu album favorito de Fastway sin lugar a dudas es este, el porque es simple por todo lo que envuenve el disco la atmosfera el aura ese estilo mistico aparte de ser del 85 uno de los años de la trilogia del mejor Rock a diferencia de sus anteriores trabajos de puro Hard Rock aca hacen un cambio total pero que bandas en estos 3 años no dieron ese cambio? la gran mayoria de los medios especializados siempre consideraran a su anterior...

... trabajo como el mejor de su muy buena carrera y meritos no le faltan pero para alguien que mas degusta de estos estilos se decantara por este disco y eso que es bien dificil la eleccion aparte de sus otros buenisimos albums de nivel como On Target y Bad Bad Girls  The World Waits for You, Waiting for the Roar, Change, Tired of Your Love... demuestran el nivelazo de esta placa Gran album y altamente recomendado para los amantes de estilos asi muy en la onda de White Wolf.

| What is sad about the re-issue is the so called re-master. How can a re-master sound so bad. Just like the Hybrid Ice re-issues. They also sound terrible for a re-master. There are some killer tunes on this disc. To bad it sounds like it was re-mastered in my garage.

| The remaster doesn't sound as good as it should be. For example, you still need to turn up the volume in order to listen to the album properly. However, there is one BIG difference between the original pressing and the remaster. It seems that many of the songs were edited on the original CD. Thankfully, the remaster presents all of the songs in their inedited form, plus you've got one bonus track too. Take a look at track 1 "The World Waits For You" for instance. It is 6:27 on the original pressing, but the full length version (as found on the BGO remaster, as well as on The Collection CD from 2000) is actually around 7:36.

Tired Of Your Love: 4.02 / 4.35 4. Change: 4.55 / 6.03 5. Move Over: 4.06 / 5.29 6. Little By Little: 5.48 / 5.53 7. Rock On: 3.22 / 3.22 8. Waiting For The Roar: 4.00 / 4.02 9. Girl: 4.08 / 4.07 10.

| Hi guys. This is my first comment to the site even though i keep watching all the ratings & comments which other members make since 2003 i think. Fastway are amongst of my favorite bands. What's wrong about keyboars to their sound?all their previous albums were more 'classic' indeed but i like most waiting for the roar, on target and bad bad girls. Taste & preference is purely subjective according to my opinion. They introduced better sound and better songwriting to their music. When i hear an album i certainly distinguish some songs,it's almost impossible, besides, for someone to like all the songs of a certain album. For example, Shaigon Kick, Harlan Cage, House Of Lords are awesome bands but i don't like all of their songs and style. However, i like better Fastway, Alien, Tommy Shaw, Danger Danger, Praying Mantis, Dare, Lillian Axe etc. As a final coclusion i wanted to say that i do my best to support this kind of music because it is an ultimate gift. Thank you very much and i apolo

| Keyboards add moods and are part of Rock too. Zep and Purple made use of them as well. I conclude the whole first few posts are a detraction against the whole AOR sound. This one sounds nothing like Duran Duran or The Fix. It's about the quality structures of the songs in the genres they come. Gives them the opportunity to be takes to a whole new level. Because, take away the guitar from the first two albums and it wouldn't sound right either. Bottom line: we all look for different things.

| Another fine release and the last album with Dave King on vocals...killer tracks sure it has such as "The World Waits For You"(with a great video),"Kill Me With Your Heart"(a long time personal fave),"Tired Of Your Love","Rock On" & "Back Door Man"...albums by Fastway with both singers (Dave King & Lea Hart)are very good even though i prefered Lea Hart as a singer(somehow Lea was perfect for the AOR direction the band took after this album)...88/100
