3.0 out of 5 stars
Solid, yet unexceptional AOR album, June 21, 2006
It's pretty rare for me to be less than impressed with an album on the Frontiers label, but Stan Bush's 2001 release Language of the Heart just doesn't do that much for me. I know Bush has quite a few solo albums under his belt, but I am more familiar with his contributions on the Transformers movie soundtrack.
Language of the Heart is a solid AOR album with well-written songs, and Bush's performance is quite good (wow, there's 5 words I never thought I'd type). The album just doesn't seem to reach out and grab me. It's hard to describe what I mean. Some bands have the ability to captivate the listener right from the start (Fair Warning, Pink Cream 69, even Jimi Jamison's solo album), but that is missing on this album. There isn't a "the Touch" moment on Language of the Heart.
Still, it's a good CD, and worth owning if you're a (Stan) Bush fan. It's just not as exciting as I hoped it would be.
