Kevin Cronin's debut with the band, he took the next few albums off, but shows promise on this one, the songs are enjoyable but not close to what the band achieved starting with their Tune a fish album and on.

Great album before Kevin Cronin's dictatorial control over the band turned REO Speedwagon into a vehicle for mushy pop tunes. Gary Richrath's guitar work is simply superb. He shows what a true axeman he really is on this album.

A rare hard to find cd that I like a lot

Not a bad start at a time when it was difficult to compete with the likes of Purple and so forth. These kind of albums are definitely worth your dollar because the history is an important thing. Tunes reflect the times for the band.

i just got this album on cd. i'm listening to it right now. in reference to another post, i like the band's "mushy pop tunes".

This album kick's ass. Richrath is an amazing guitar player. If you have seen him live you know what I mean.

I love every song on this album, these songs also were crafted to be even better as live material later on. Golden Country is probably the most unique song the band ever did and it's a early classic. Kevin left after this for awhile to explore the folk and country scene but returned focused later on.
