5.0 out of 5 stars One of Reo's finnest., September 4, 2004
By Jukebox Hero (Allendale, IL United States) - See all my reviews
Buy the time Life as We Know it was released in 1987 some fans weren't to interested in buying a new Reo album, but Life as We Know it is Reo's strongest album since Hi Infidelity. New Way to Love kicks off the album, then the familiar That Ain't Love and In My Dreams. With Life as We Know it the boys really wrote a killer batch of tunes. One too Many Girlfriends, Variety Tonight, and Screams and Whispers also stand out. If you can find this one I highly recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars REO Classics, April 5, 2008
This CD has been too long missing - is a little harder to find but worth the effort! From slower songs like "In My Dreams" to the upbeat "New Way to Love" this has been one of my favorite CD's from REO, maybe the time frame,maybe the songs themselves. But an REO collection is incomplete without this one!

5.0 out of 5 stars REO peaks with this!, September 25, 2006
this album introduced me to rock music some 15 years back - so this album is very special for me. i first heard the singles "that ain't love" and "in my dreams" and i was hooked. so i got the album and the rest of the tracks didn't disappoint. later i picked up the other REO albums too - and in my opinion only "high infidelty" compares with this. "that ain't love" and "in my dreams" are definitely the strongest numbers here - but "screams and whispers", "variety tonight", "accidents can happen" aren't far behind. and there's some great guitar work in "over the egde". i got a used cd of this album on amazon just a week back - and i can't get it out of my cd player!
