3.0 out of 5 stars 2nd album starts out good, but suffers in the end., December 30, 2010

2nd album by Eddie Money "Life For The Taking" #17 in 1978. This album started off fast with the sturdy album rocker "Life For The Taking", followed by "Can't Keep A Good Man Down", #63 a solid rocker, "Nightmare", is a strong number, Eddie and Jimmy Lyons at their best, "Gimme Some water", a classic rock staple, it gets it's due, a good song. "Maybe I'm A Fool", #22, AM single, strings and sax. And the good fast paced tune with good guitar "Love The Way You Love Me". This album might of been a little harder edged than the first, but the last 3 songs kind of grag it down. *** 1/2 overall. 1980 brought us the mediocre "Playing For Keeps".

this is eddie money at a creative peak! gimme some water sounds so awesome driving in a car , it's a powerful beginning, middle and end story.. it rocks! ( the opening is the key ) life for the taking is a great song too! eddie plays this song at all of his concerts now and is one of his most popular true life hits! can't keep a good man down! we hear this in all of our daily conversations with people we know! i buy the paper every day but i ain't got time to read ... there ain't no jobs in there for me anyway! we all have said that verse right? maybe i'm a fool has a disco twist and is a nice tune , rock n roll the place is about eddie singing for his fans and partying! the great thing about eddie money is all of his big songs have a real life story!

When I look up music from this era, I never find it on cd unless its a "Super Group', believe it or not, I still have it on vinyl, bought when it first was released!!! And Eddie is the only guy to write a love song titled with my name,lol. I hated it as a teen, but now it is a honor, although I would not want my oldest girlfriends to serenade me again. Its a great album. Will definately get it on cd.
