3.0 out of 5 stars Corey's Rhythm and Blues, March 31, 2007

Corey Hart is known by mid 80s hits such as NEVER SURRENDER and CAN'T HELP FALLING IN LOVE WITH YOU. His sixth album in 1992 may be hard to come by mainly because it was not well promoted back then. It is purely a rhythm and blues album a bit different from 80s pop style and I feel as if I were listening to Paul Young titles.

Third track BABY WHEN I CALL YOUR NAME is an outstanding slow ballad track reminding me a bit of Paul Young's EVERY TIME I GO AWAY. 92 DAYS OF RAIN, however, is the reason why Cory's fans should still stick to this one. It is indeed typical 80s Cory style and my top favorite from this album. WITHOUT YOUR LOVE is a moody yet touching ballad also my favorite. SONNET FROM THE PORTUGUESE is something like STING's ENGLISHMAN IN NEW YORK.

Verdict: Cory tries blues. A nice album for a change.
Rating: 75 out of 100
Recommended for: Cory Hart, and some of Paul Young and Hall and Oates fans.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not bad, but not his best either, June 12, 2008

In the mid-80s, Corey Hart was a handsome young pop-rocker with a distinctive, emotional and highly melodic style belying his punkish, spiky-haired appearance. He had big hits with songs like "Sunglasses At Night," "Never Surrender," and "Eurasian Eyes." When he made this album in 1992, his distinctive voice was still well-intact, but the overall robustness of his signature sound was starting to wear thin. A few selections, such as "92 Days Of Rain," "Always," and "Poster" stay true to the roots of the above mentioned hits from the 80s, but as a whole, this album is more tired and less fresh-sounding than some of his earlier efforts.

This is a great album by this talented canadian underrated artist. Interestingly, compositions & singing style are different as compared to "First Offence" or the more famous and most successful,"Boy In The Box" albums. Despite this change, he manages to pull it off magnificiently with hits, "Baby When I Call Your Name", "She's Everywhere" , "Always", "Poster" & "Without Your Love". This certainly proves his versatility as singer-songwriter who is good at that! A highly recommeded listening.
