4.0 out of 5 stars Amazing album, March 19, 2003

By 

Kurt Morris "Kurt" (Sandy, UT United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Back on the Streets (Audio CD)

This album is outdone only by the next album 'King Cool' and that takes quite some doing to out do this album but 'King Cool' is in my top 5 of all time. 'Back on the Streets is easily in the top 15.

It was 'Love is like a rock' that converted me into a die hard Donnie Iris fan, of course that song is on the next album, but Ah leah played a major part to.

Id say the 3 weakest songs on this album(I can't hear you, Back on the streets, and Daddy don't live here) are still better then average meaning the other 7 are great. the 2 that stand out for me are 'She's so wild' and 'You're only dreaming' but only slightly over Agness, Ah Leah, Shock Treatment, and Too Young to love. Joking is another very good song but not quite up there with previousely mentioned. No fillers at all.

5.0 out of 5 stars Undiscovered Gem- what a great album- front to back., December 31, 2002

By 

Bad Bart (Montgomery County, Pennsylvania) - See all my reviews

"Ah! Leah!" is the song that got my attention. At a time when REO speedwagon seemed to dominate the airwaves, this HUGE rockin' power ballad stood out as something unique.
"I Can't Hear You," "Joking," and "Shock Treatment" are lyrically brilliant- (although at times very eighties).
"Back on the Streets," is a Springsteen-esque ballad that is as good as or better than any Springsteen epic.
"Agnes," is a great "story" that builds as it goes- unforgettable.
"You're Only Dreaming," "She's So Wild (amazing rocker)," and "Daddy Don't Live Here Anymore" revisits some ot the quirkiness and silliness of trackes 2,3, and 4.
"Too Young to Love," just hurts when you listen to it.
Iris has tapped into the very ache of love and desire on a lot of this album and it leaves you with an unforgettable experience. Kick back and listen to all of this at once. You won't regret it.

Another great album from Donnie Iris. His hit Ah! Leah! is a classic. Shock Treatment and I Can't Hear You are super. Listen to this CD and you'll get hooked!
