4.0 out of 5 stars Welcome Back Peter Cetera -- Where Have You Been?, April 1, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Another Perfect World (Audio CD)

After almost six years without the release of a full studio solo album (last studio album was One Clear Voice in 1995), Peter Cetera returns to the pop music charts with his latest effort, Another Perfect World. This album is a reminder of Cetera's earlier solo albums like "Solitude, Solitaire" (1986), "One More Story" (1988), and "World Falling Down" (1992). "Another Perfect World" is vintage Peter Cetera with sugary love ballads and deep, moving words which have made him a great success in pop music with Chicago and during the 1980's and early 1990's with his much praised and popular love ballads (ie. Glory of Love and One Good Woman). The songs on this new album bring out his great voice and brilliance. There is a return to the "brass" sounds from the Chicago days and no more country music "feel" (thankfully). Cetera's last two albums were disappointing because of the movements made towards country music that he acquired from his time in Nashville. Michael Omartian's production on this album steered Peter Cetera back to his popular and much more successfull love ballads and "pick-me up music" he is noted for during the 1980's.

The album however, only has three out of ten songs written or co-written by Peter Cetera. There are also no duets with anyone on this album. Although the album has several good songs, they are not as great and remarkable as the love ballads and songs from the late 1980's and early 1990's that many Peter Cetera fans have loved to appreciate. The album is a great tranquil album that brings Cetera back to his "musical roots" with Chicago and his earlier solo works. I would recommend purchasing this album because it is "classic" Peter Cetera at its best, but it is not as "perfect" as his earlier ballads with Chicago and hits songs from his earlier solo career during the 1980's and 1990's.

5.0 out of 5 stars Peter Cetera's best solo cd yet., March 28, 2001

This review is from: Another Perfect World (Audio CD)

Cetera's first full studio album since 95's ONE CLEAR VOICE.ANOTHER PERFECT DAY has Peter Cetera using a horn section to make this album the most "chicago-est"sounding of his solo career.FEELS LIKE RAIN is simply one of the greatest songs Cetera has sung since HARD HABIT TO BREAK.Cetera's voice is as good as ever,which is shown on the lead off single PERFECT WORLD,JUST LIKE LOVE and RULE THE WORLD.Michael Omartian's great production gives this album a more up to date sound than Cetera's recent albums.The moody feel of RAIN LOVE is terrific.ONLY HEAVEN KNOWS and WHATEVER GETS YOU THROUGH also have great vibes.Surprisingly though,there are not any of those patented Cetera duets on this album.Not even the fickle world of radio will be able to resist these great Peter Cetera songs,his strongest solo material yet.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good Adult Contemp CD, July 17, 2001

This review is from: Another Perfect World (Audio CD)

Cetera has gotten a bum rap from a lot of the Chicago faithful over the years. Truth is, while Chicago has been for all intents and purposes reduced to an oldies act Cetera has enjoyed some success on the solo front. His albums have all had their high points but are spotty in their quality of material. Another Perfect World is no different, a wonderful title track, but the cd does rely on outside material too much. It makes you wonder if Peter is plagued by writers block (he had the last 5-6 years to come up with material). That said, Rain Love, Feels Like Rain and Just Like Love are quality tracks. We could have done without a Beatles cover, but he does a nice job with it. There also tends to be a certain "sameness" to the tracks as the cd goes on, but by and large this is an enjoyable adult contemporary album...and Cetera's unique voice has aged well.
