Not what I would expect form Tommy and Jack. Poor effort with poor songs

I agree with James, it aint worth the money.. a collaboration of nothing..

Total piece of crap! Waste of time and money. As usual, anything Shaw does w/o Styx really bites.

From: Tony	Date: April 11, 2002 at 4:17
WOW!! I really dug this cd. Good melodic rock with sing-a-lond choruses what was the problem?? The thing was in 1995 if you thought something like this would get any kind of warm reception than you were only kidding yourself. Just the wrong product at the wrong time even though to me good songs are good songs no matter what the year so heck maybe you guys are right.

Very soft!

From: TYTAN	Date: August 1, 2002 at 16:48
I always liked this album. Very good songwriting and playing...I think most people expected a Damn Yankees type sound here, but if you go into it with an open mind and a love for Beatles/Tom Petty type material you won't be dissapointed.

This is crap from 2 talented musicians. This was a waste of money.

From: James	Date: December 15, 2002 at 16:32
After years of having this album i have finally come to appreciate it. Yeah, it isn't what I expected but it is a nice change of pace to plug this in and hear great harmonies from these two voices that were meant to be in a band together. Overall I have to say that I now like this album. It is soft but I have to have some music to relax to

Como balance, puedo decir que se quedaron a mitad de camino. seguramente habràn querido hacer algo acùstico,pero me parece que algo les faltò.Nada para reprochar, pero a la vez poco para destacar. el tipico disco para escuchar cuando uno no sabe que poner en la compactera.Por momentos aburre un tanto.Lo mejor,pasa por el trabajo vocal,que es impecable. Por lo demàs, intrascendente. 5/10. carro_martin2000@yahoo.com.ar

Big fan of both of these guys, but this effort did not work for me Big disappointment.

From: Gar	Date: October 28, 2003 at 20:21
Well... I wasn't expecting this to rock out like Damn Yankees, but I thought it would at least have SOME balls. This is mellow, mellow stuff(maybe they should have called it "Darn Yankees"). Songs are kinda introspective and nostalgic(I just love using big words). Actually this isn't a bad release, but considering the talent involved, it's not as good as it should have been. Skip it.

From: CC	Date: December 3, 2003 at 10:44
Once again people fail to realise that side projects are supposed to sound different. If you wanna hear Damn Yankees,Styx or Nightranger go buy albums by them bands,thats not the point of an album like this,this is something Tommy & Jack knew wouldnt fit their day jobs. I wouldnt say its one of my fave albums but it is a good album for what it is,a mellow Beatles enspired personal introspective!

From: Braid "0"	Date: March 20, 2004 at 20:23
I didn't like the album the 1st time i played it but now it is one of my Fav's! Great, signing and great acoustic playing with out trying to rip off the whole Eric Clapton unplugged thing. I still really enjoy this album to this day. I love to Rock but when you need some mellow --- put this Album on!

From: Jofa	Date: March 20, 2004 at 20:27
Hallucinations? You bet! love these guys, what a great bunch of songs.

From: AOR freaky	Date: March 22, 2004 at 7:47
Great talents, but this is SOOOO BOOOOOOOOOORING !!!!

From: Gar	Date: March 23, 2004 at 0:01
Gotta agree with Freaky Freddy on this. This one's still in my collection because nobody else wants it. I've given it a few more spins since my previous post, but my opinion hasn't changed any. Most of the songs on here sound like 70's era America. Not a bad thing necessarily, but with all these guys have to offer I was expecting much more.

Malo, muy malo y aburrido. Decepcionante 100%. Lastima de pelas.

Guess I was lucky. Before this CD came out, Tommy Shaw and Jack Blades came to town to premiere some of the songs live on the local Bob & Tom radio show. I heard the majority of the album in an acoustic setting before buying it. The biggest problem for most folks, I think, is that they expect something different. Being as I knew what to expect, I loved this album from start to finish. Put your expectations aside and realize that this album was released in the heyday of VH-1 Unplugged albums.

Si te gustan las baladas de Damn Yankees, te va a gustar. Destaco un par de temas: My Hallucination y Blue continental, el resto no me dice nada...

I'll Always Be With You is my fave, followed by the title cut, Don't Talk To Me Anymore. Great album that sounds better each time you listen to it.

Concuerdo en parte con TYTAN y Alejandro pues este disco huele a Midwest Rock(Country)(todas semi-acústicas) y suena a una mezcla de Tom Petty/Beatles. "My Hallucination" de lo mejorcillo y sonó acá en Perú en Doble 9(Radio). "I'll Always Be With You" simple y movidito a lo Beatles, "Don't Talk to Me Anymore" semi balada un tanto monótona. Ya sabes, si no sabes que poner en la compactera... 7.5/10

PUES A MI ME ENCANTA. TIENE UNOS CUANTOS TEMAZOS. SON UNOS GENIOS.

From: COBRA	Date: December 23, 2007 at 12:21
0 out of ten for me. Did not enjoy it at all. I got rid of it.
