5.0 out of 5 stars Very best of the best, September 14, 2000

By A Customer

I'm a great follower of this group and this album has been my only "missing issue" in the collection. I've heard it several times, recorded it in various ways, but still just need to have the original. Great mix of songs and one of the best sound recording in al of T.O. albums...waiting for the re-edition of this one (why haven't they!!??).

5.0 out of 5 stars Entering A New Era, March 16, 1999

By A Customer

This is the first album the group released without the work of their long-time drummer, Alan Jackman. The sound of The Outfield continues to evolve on this release, gaining maturity as the albums roll by. This album contains the hit, "For You", a great song about complete devotion. Some sleepers on this disc include "Burning Blue", and "Raintown Boys". Although the entire album is great, these are songs that stand out. I would recommend this album to anybody, as it upholds the tradtion of great rock by The Outfield.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good album. Recalls their Play Deep debut in some places, October 23, 2004

By	Preston (nc) - See all my reviews

After albums two and three didn't attract a lot of people, The Outfield's fourth album is a return to what made them stars in the first place. The first half of the album and the hit single "For You" starts kind of slow for a bit. But the album picks up in the second half, as I hear shades of Play Deep felt in the songs. Raytown Boys is one of the best rockers here; it kind of recalls the chords of Your Love a little bit. But no song on here stands out than that final one on the album, After The Storm. It's such a dramatic and dymanic performance with its dark and sonic landscapes and lots of lead guitar on this power ballad. One of the band's best written and arranged songs. Although this was their first for MCA after three albums with Columbia, the band really continued to make strong rock music with some pop leanings with this one.
