4.0 out of 5 stars Come on. It's not that bad., August 8, 2002
By A Customer
Nobody argues that this was one of the worst PRODUCED and CONCEIVED Jeff Beck albums ever, including Jeff himself. But let's not overlook the fact that it contains two SUPREME tracks,
the immortal "People Get Ready", and the vastly overlooked instrumental gem, "You Know, We Know". I also find the Jan Hammer track "Escape", which won a Grammy by the way, to be a very cool 1980s flashback. Overlook some of the horrendous vocals, and listen to the guitar solos---true Jeff Beck fans know it's all here, just sift through the garbage to get to it.

2.0 out of 5 stars '80s production techinques at it's worst., July 27, 1999
By A Customer
The song "People Get Ready", the solo at the end of "Ambitious", "Escape" and "Get workin'" are the only ones that worked for me and even these sound extremely dated today. This CD has that wretched '80s overproduced sound, with drum machines and synthesizers practically ruining everything. Beck's guitar has to fight to stay above the din and succeeds only a few times. Just about anything else in his solo catalogue is better than this.

3.0 out of 5 stars Saving Grace, June 23, 2005
In general, I agree with most of the above comments, but as a long-time music lover, I have to rate this album as a must-have for one reason : People Get Ready. Beck nails the track, and it's probably one of Rod Stewart's best vocal performances. The combination of raspy vocals and Beck's thoughtful, haunting guitar work redeems an otherwise synthetic mish-mash of tracks. Like was stated before, you can sift through and hear the trademark Beck . I can't help but visualize most of this album as a soundtrack for a mediocre made-for-tv 80s movie. Too bad.

It was the mid-'80s, so I guess even Beck decided he'd dive headfirst into the gimmicks of the day, with the sterilized "heavy" guitars and the booming drums. Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars Jeff and Nile are like oil and water - a rare career mistake
This is unlistenable. Thank god this is Jeff's only time in his career he went for the dollars instead of the substeance. This sounds like a poor mans Chic and thats not good.
