I used to see a few of these guys in Pezband back in my college days. They were the best power pop band you'd find anywhere. I was thrilled to stumble across this album (two years after it's release) and find Mimi Betinis reunited with Cliff and Mike in Off Broadway. That chemistry is magical. This album is proof. It's brilliant! And, once again, totally overlooked by the music industry.

Wow! Talk about a departure. Twenty years ago I fell in love with Off Broadway the first time I heard "Full Moon Turn My Head Around". I waited for years for that disc to be released. I bought this one the moment it hit the stores. I was shocked, then disappointed, then elated. I realized that as much as I loved the purely pop signatures of the first two Off Broadway albums, the band had grown up as had I. The album has a very serious edge to it, but also contains much of the lyrical cleverness (Time wounds all heels) of the earlier works. The guitar work by Mimi Betinis is different than that of John Ivan but fits this style better. After the third time listening, I was hooked. Cliff, when can we expect the next one? And WHERE IS QUICK TURNS?

This local Chicago Band has been making the finest POP ROCK for over twenty years. They once again seem to be under rated by the music industry and that is too bad. Their music is better than 99% of what is available to mass audiences. It is a shame that they are relegated to oblivion once again by a music industry to ignorant to recognize monumental talent.

i have been a fan at 16 im from rockford.so i got the live @ fitzgeralds and i was hooked again.so i got this one. its not full moon.but it does have some cool stuff on it. doug mcbride the producer worked with cheap trick also.worked on this with them. this is with mi mi of pezband.it has some value.if your a real fan and lived in there neck of the woods as i have. 2 bucks for the cd new and shipping 4.98 im getting my copy.

Sadly Off Broadway is washed up...When Cliff Johnson pulled the rip cord the band went "poof".... inconsistent backup stage musician types..lack color character and talent. pure second rate fluff! Don't bother you can see the weashed up band at local bars, street fairs and festivals. don't waste your money!

I was very excited to see that Off Broadway had a new album out-about 17 years after their last one.And to top that off, they now have Mimi Betinis from the shoulda-been legendary Pezband. Unfortunately, the songs are just not there in my opinion. The production is superb, and the band sound tight and powerful, but....here's hoping they re-release Quick Turns as a stop-gap and concentrate on writing some great pop songs for their next real comeback album.
