5.0 out of 5 stars One of the greatest, December 18, 2004

I think that No Brakes is one of the best albums of John Waite. It is full of energy and emotion. People that like "Missing you" should listen to the album before buying it. The rest of the songs have a little more energy....

4.0 out of 5 stars Good start... now howzabout the rest of his catalog?, February 9, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: No Brakes (Audio CD)

If one added "Change" from IGNITION, "Every Step of the Way" and maybe "Just Like Lovers" from MASK OF SMILES, and "These Times are Hard for Lovers" from ROVER'S RETURN to this album the perfect John Waite solo compilation would exist. Forget the dull TEMPLE BAR or catatonic WHEN YOU WERE MINE. NO BRAKES is one of the lost gems of rock 'n roll. Overwhelmed by the 800 lb. gorilla that is "Missing You" are several incredible tracks, like the follow-up, albeit lesser, hits "Tears" and "Dark Side of the Sun" and the "Missing You" B-side, "For Your Love", all of them passionate rockers, a side of Mr. Waite's musical personality sorely missing lately. The man used to rock. One may quibble a bit with the oblique quality of several lyrics, but that didn't keep "Missing You" from it's place in pop history. Now if only someone would reissue the rest of his catalog before his fan base forgets why they wore out his cassettes in the first place. Especially since the Babys albums are due for reissue in a few weeks (2/01).

4.0 out of 5 stars Long out-of-print masterpiece, April 23, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: No Brakes (Audio CD)

This is one of those records that I have loved through all of the weird phases of my life. It has found a permanent spot in my CD changer along with other classics such as the first (UK Version) Clash cd and my "unauthorized" Van Halen 1/2 cd. A true classic by an artist who has continually put out quality material as a member of the Babys and later solo...
