5.0 out of 5 stars BETTER THAN THEIR FIRST, AND THAT WAS GREAT, March 22, 2002

The Storm's first cd, was great ( 4 1/2 stars), and their second, is even better. This group does Journey better than Journey does Journey. Kevin voice has more soul than either Steve in Journey. Greg, Journey's orginal keyboardist, has only gotten better with age. And guitarist Jose, plays with the same passion as Neal of Journey. Maybe Journey needs to listen to the Storm, to remember how to play and to put fun back into their music, something than been missing since Frontiers.
The cd starts out rockin with Don't Give Up, and never really lets up. I Want to be the One, has a familiar ring to it, like sitting down and listening to an old friend. A lot of the songs are this way, leaving you feeling pumped up and ready to go. Waiting for the World to Change, To Have and to Hold, What ya Doing Tonight, and Long Time Coming, are as beautiful as any Journey song. With Long Time Coming, being the first song in years to give me goosebumps, the song really has power and soul behind it. Livin' it UP, and Give Me Tonight, are Gregg's finest, better than any thing he has done with Sanatana, Journey, solo, or with the Storm.
This cd is really worth checking out, it's a shame they only had two cds. And both cds, were awesome. I can't wait to check out their new project TWO FIRES.

4.0 out of 5 stars Eye of the Storm Delivers, May 6, 2000

A pleasant surprise was to find this "Journey-ish" CD shopping on-line at Amazon.com. This group has a good sound, nice lyrics and strong vocals. Their songs, Don't Give Up, Waiting for the World to Change, I Want to Be the One plus The Soul of a Man and Love Isn't Easy are very good tunes. To Have and To Hold is a very, very strong power ballad. The remaining songs on the album are all pretty good, too. There are just not any poor tracks on the entire CD.

The Storm's lead singer is Kevin Chalfant who has some definite vocal parallels with Steve Perry. Former Journey greats keyboard man Gregg Rolie (vocals on "Just the Same Way" and "Feelin' That Way") and bass player Ross Valory are a big part of this new band, the Storm. Lead singer Kevin Chalfant can belt out the tunes and power ballads and is nicely complemented by Gregg Rolie's vocals in several tunes, especially in I Want To Be the One and in The Soul of a Man. Josh Ramos on guitar delivers a good, solid performance although his rifts are not quite as strong as Journey's Neal Schon (but then again, not many are). If you like Journey's songs Faithfully, Open Arms and Don't Stop Believin' you'll like the CD for sure.

5.0 out of 5 stars As good as it gets, January 17, 2005

The Storm's first album is truly excellent and this album is even better. An excellent, solid rock album with great guitar licks and soaring ballads. If you're a fan of bands like Giant, Steelheart, Hardline etc. I wholeheartedly recommend this and The Storm's other (first) album. Get it while you still can, it will most definitely not disappoint, nor will any Gregg Rolie album.
