5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Rock Band that should have been huge!, January 8, 2006

It is amazing to me how sometimes a record label can drop the ball and not promote certain bands that have truly great potential. Blue Tears was defenitely one of those bands. I understand that the music scene changed in the early nineties for the grunge thing but I still believe the mid and late 80's had the best rock music. So many bands never had the chance to really shine due to the change in the music industry. If this album had been released when Def Leppard, Bon Jovi, Poison, RATT etc. were at their prime they would have become a household name. Yeah, I think they were that good! Every time I let somebody here this album they are surprised that they didn't make it big. They finally released 2 follow up albums that were shelved and a new one is in the works. If you like the sound of the late 80's rock and want to hear something that should have been check this out!!!!! Also check out the their very cool website at http://www.bluetearsmusic.com/

4.0 out of 5 stars Never quite made it, but they deserved to, July 5, 2006

Blue Tears was another in a long list of hard rock/hair metal bands that got lost in the shuffle during the late 80's and early 90's. For some reason, MCA Records seemed to sign this kind of band left and right, release one album, fail to promote it, and then cut them loose. A lot of bands fell by the wayside as a result. Some were really good and some were merely average. Blue Tears definitely falls into the first category.

The sound on the band's 1990 self-titled debut was equal parts Bon Jovi and Night Ranger. They may not have been the most original band on the block, playing the kind of slick melodic AOR that was so popular at the time, but Blue Tears played it very well. Each song on the album is well written, though they don't stray very far from the standard AOR love songs. Perhaps the band was too clean for their own good. Bands like Poison and Warrant were milking the whole "bad boys with a soft side" approach to great success. Blue Tears weren't bad boys with a soft side. They came across as nice guys making safe music. Then again, Journey and Bad English were never seen as bad boys, and they did just fine. This is a band that really should have been a big hit at the time, but for whatever reason went largely unnoticed. The good news is that the band resurfaced earlier this year with a new album - their first in over 15 years!

Overall, Blue Tears is a great album from start to finish. Good vocals, good melodies, good songs. It's a can't-miss pick for anyone who enjoys the classic AOR/melodic rock sound.

Well,thanks to internet these guys are more well known nowdays to several people such as myself.I was surprised hearing to the very good sound of this album almost clear and crystal.The tracks include very good catchy melodies such as Bon Jovi in the years of New Jersey album.I can say that the vocals in many tracks sound like the voice of Bon Jovi specially in the slow parts which made me love this album more and more!!Strong melodies and lots of many-voices choruces are the characteristics of Blue tears.Check out the self titled song and "take this heart" whitch could be the radio hit such as runaway in the 80's.Hard rock fans and aor fans will love this album if you're keen on bands like BJ,airrace,aircraft,boulevard,giuffria,xyz.Imagine these guys opening for BJ tours.Dream come true!

Look for it you'll love this!
