5.0 out of 5 stars The version to get!, June 11, 2005

This is the same release that came out in 2003 in the U.S.A., with the exception of being remastered by Trower's bassist, Mr. Dave Bronze, and with a different cover and photos altogether, and being released in 2005 in the european market.
In my opinion it is an inprovement over the original, with a much more live feel, less muddled , and the already great vocals are the most improved thing about it.
Trower fans rejoice!!

What a treat! Robin Trower has been keeping a low profile in recent years, but this CD should help raise that profile and bring him back into the ears of serious music fans.
I bought this CD last year when Robin first offered it on his website and have been singing its praises to friends and fellow aficionados for the last six months. Now that its available here, no fan will have an excuse to be without it.
From the first notes, old Trower fans will hear that something great is in the works. After a number of CDs of decidedly uneven quality, the Trower of old seems to have rediscovered himself.
I like the entire CD, but especially excellent are the cuts One Less Victory, Ain't Gonna Wait, and I Want To Take You With Me.
Trower's play is restrained yet powerful and Davey Pattison's vocals will almost make you begin to forget the late, great James Dewar.
If Robin Trower's aim is to regain his place at the head of the list of great blues-rock guitarists, then he is right on target with Living Out of Time.
I highly recommend you get this while it is available.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very pleasing Trower, but could use more though......, February 25, 2004

The latest Trower album is what you'd expect from Robin. It's Robin's best in years no doubt about it, the songs are pleasing and the guitar is great. One downside to the album is there is a need for harder rockin' tracks, there are rockers present, but nothing that matches the rock of Day Of The Eagle or Too Rolling Stoned. The first tracks rocked my world.

Here are the tracks.

1)What's Your Name: Starts off the album killer! An upbeat guitar rocker with some great vocals. 10/10!

2)Step Into The Sun: Wow, 2nd track and Robin blows me away again! Robin throws down guitar with the best of 'em again, probably the best guitar work on the album. 10/10!

3)Another Time, Another Place: Slows it down with this one. 3rd song blew me away AGAIN! The chorus definatly has great singing in it. Kind of reminds me of Bridge Of Sighs because of the light trem, neck pickup, and the deep thick chords. It's the best slow song on the album for sure. 8/10

4) Sweet Angel: Another upbeat track. Great song, love the vocals and layered guitars. This track kept bringing me back for more. One of the guitar hooks into the verses is very interesting. Excellent song. 9/10

5) Please Tell Me: Say hello to the Wah effect here. The vocals here are a bit boring on the verses, but Robin's riffs in the middle make up for it. The chorus is very subtle also. The song is a bit boring, but Robin's playing saves it. 6/10

6) One Less Victory: In This Place? Kind of. It's another slowed down tune, that picks up a bit with the drum track. Too dull for me. 4/10

7) Ain't Gonna Wait: Another downbeat track, I'm afraid this one can't catch my interest either, better than One Less Victory though. 5/10

8) Living Out Of Time: You'll be thanking your lucky stars for a rocker here. Upbeat track here with some great backing guitar and some hot licks by Robin! This one will keep you comin' back at the end of the album. 7/10

9) The Past Untied: The beginning guitar here will say awesome all over it. It turned out that lick was never used again in the song or vocal structure. This song is another slow one and Robin's guitar playing saves this one 6/10

10) You Still Came Back: Another great upbeat track, the vocal effort here is great and Robin's playing is great. This one is a keeper! 8/10

11) I Want To Take You With Me: This track is of epic length, 10:40 in length. It's a slow one too, extended guitar solo by Robin makes it interesting though 7/10

All in all, a great Trower album to add to your collection.
