4.0 out of 5 stars Solid Sophomore Effort, February 18, 2005

This second Power Station continues beautifully where the first one left off a decade earlier. Everyone seems to have different opinions on this one, but mine is that the album is even stronger than the first. The only thing you'll miss here are chart-topping singles, which mystifies me because there are several tracks that should have put the band back in the spotlight.

I don't understand what happened to John Taylor, since he's credited with co-writing all the tunes, but Bernard Edwards totally kicks on bass.

If you liked the debut album, I highly, highly recommend the second and final installment from PS.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Hard Rock/R&B Mix, March 31, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Living in Fear (Audio CD)

The glam/pretty boy days of Duran Duran long behind him, Andy Taylor displays that he can rock with the best of 'em. This is a well produced album that is likely to be unfortunately dismissed as an 80's-style rehashing of washed up artists trying to recaputure their glory. The guitar sounds are heavy and raw but crisp and tasteful. Palmer's vocals arrangements are creative and his lyrics (although cliched at times) show maturity. Punchy horns and a funky rhythm section round out the menu. Too bad this effort did not and will not get the recognition it deserves.

5.0 out of 5 stars Only if you're serious!!!, January 8, 2002

By

I think that this is one of the BEST,if not should I say the last recording that Benard Edwards had produced for the Power Station before he passed away. The playing on this recording is rock solid with Tony Thompson's drumming and Andy Taylor's guitar playing all so ever great...and may I add that Robert Palmer's writting is strong as ever.But most of all this is Benard Edwards last studio recording so if you are a serious fan of Chic or just a good fan of Benard Edwards playing then you should go out and buy this one!!!
May I add that the import has one different song then the U.S. version but that shouldn't stop you from buying this copy. In the future I hope to see more recordings come out from this supergroup and hopefully they can carry on the torch that Benard did leave for them.
