5.0 out of 5 stars Gowan is in a class by himself, July 4, 2004

By	Scott D. Rocca (Gratz, PA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This album is classic Gowan at the height of his career. Classically-informed prog rock of the 80s. If you like styx, rush, asia etc. you should love Gowan

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy to see why he's in Styx now..., March 29, 2005

Lawrence Gowan is simply the perfect person to pick up where Dennis DeYoung left off. If you have any doubts, pick up any of his solo work (I recommend The Best of Gowan for starters, it covers several of his studio albums and includes a couple never-before released tracks as well). One of Canada's finest and a band held in very high regard in that country...a solid team. This CD is just one of six great studio albums Gowan released between 1982 and the mid-90s.

4.0 out of 5 stars Might be the best Gowan album - But I've not heard all!, October 23, 2003

By A Customer

This album, Gowan's third, may in fact be his best, though it's been years since I've heard "Lost Brotherhood", so don't quote me. "Dirty World" shows a large step forward in maturity as an artist for Gowan over "Strange Animal" and "Gowan". I recommend this album highly, even if only for the remarkable vocal work by Jon Anderson of YES on the 'Moonlight Desires' track.
