5.0 out of 5 stars This Records better than the grammy winning, Mega Hit Debut, March 5, 2000

I Love this second Album by Christopher Cross. "All Right" was a top ten hit,but after the single came out, Christopher's record company gave up on the Album. Then one of the soap opera's started playing,"Think of Laura" and this song became a huge hit. This Album went Gold,but it was the last one for Christopher Cross. After winning five grammys,and a Oscar for "Arthur's Theme," the singer never caught on to the public. The three songs on the second side of this album are the best,"Talking in my sleep,Nature of the Game," and"Long World." They almost sound alike,but all three are beautifull songs that build to a fantastic ending. You will not be dissapointed buying this CD if you like soft,enjoyable Music. I bought the record following this one,and Chris tried to go a little harder.Its a nice change,but he should stay in the softer style.

4.0 out of 5 stars Soft rock deluxe, March 3, 2006

I've been reading the reviews on this Christopher Cross release. This is largely a collection of ballads, with a few upbeat pop performances thrown in. I don't understand the criticisms of this being a ballad album. Why criticize the tempo of the music? Just give an opinion of this on the music for what is it, and not what it isn't.

I was also confused on the criticisms of "What Am I Supposed to Believe", a duet with Karla Bonoff. What is the sappiness that some of these reviewers are referring to - the lyrics? That song is the primary reason I bought this. It is, in my estimation, one of the best ballads Cross has EVER done. The soft piano and the matchup of the vocals made this one of the most enchanting songs I've heard. Lyrically speaking, haven't most of us had questions about a new relationship after having been disappointed in an old one? This should therefore be a song that audience can relate to. The piano and strings match the mood perfectly. So that's my two cents on that particular track.

"All Right" and "Think Of Laura" should be the two songs on here we recognize before getting the disc. The latter was a tribute to a departed friend that was played on a number of television soaps and informercials.

I agree with most of the favorable reviews of this. I am mostly a heavy metal listener, but for those more mellow moments, this serves well.

4.0 out of 5 stars Sound Quality Could Be Better, May 31, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Another Page (Audio CD)

My brother bought this CD whilst we were still living in the U.S. more than 15 years ago. The sound quality of his CD is exactly the same as the one I just received yesterday (30 May 2001). This means that Warner Bros. hasn't updated this CD during all this time. A remastered version with the current state of technology would definitely sound better. The sound quality is adequate but could be much improved.

As for the performance itself: it's beyond reproach. This is probably Cross' best album ever. And his most memorable.
