5.0 out of 5 stars It gets even better after repeated listenings, August 3, 2004

By	POP-ROCK "MUSICFAN4EVER" (Whittier, Ca United States) - See all my reviews

Being the hardcore Night Ranger fan that I am I've always looked forward to and suported all the individual projects that all the band members have had to offer over the years. Jack's long awaited solo release really does deliver, it's packed with very well written music from start to finish and is like a breath of fresh air. Highly recommended to all who apreciate great music.

5.0 out of 5 stars Well Rounded CD, June 4, 2004

By	SnapesImp "shawblades" (Midwest) - See all my reviews

This CD shows the talent of Jack Blades in a nicely rounded compilation of his different styles. He includes some great bass playing, and some very diverse guitar and complex fills. As talented as he is at songwriting, most of these songs are simple and catchy, but still hold the complex arrangements that he's noted for. (If you'd like one of his great left-out songs on this cd- please buy the Japan version of the same cd to get it. Very worth the money itself.)
All in all, I absolutely recommend this cd to any Damn Yankees or Jack Blades fan.
He has guests on this cd, including his own son, Colin, and even his Damn Yankees mate, Tommy Shaw! But lots of others are included...like the rest of Night Ranger, Damon Johnson, and a few others.

Get it, because it is worth the listen, truly.

5.0 out of 5 stars Attention classic rock fans!, May 17, 2004

By	Maria J. Cullins (New Gloucester, ME United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Surprisingly, this is Jack Blades' (of Night Ranger and Damn Yankees fame) first solo effort. One would think that with his vast body of work, he'd have released one by now. Jack just continues to get better with age. While the sound on this CD is sometimes reminiscant of his former work, it ioncorporates a more contemporay sound, and the result is worth listening to. He's enlisted the help of several rock n roll commerades, not least of which is Tommy Shaw, who used Jack on his last solo album. The two together have an irrestistable sound. If you are a fan of Night Ranger, Styx, Damn Yankees, or generally any classic rock band, you will enjoy this. Give it a couple of listens through, and you'll hear how good it really is.
