What a beautiful new cover which looks euphorically digital in contrast to the preceding, reflective "analog" experience. This record has the richness of heaven placed within the loving voices and creative souls of men whose names can be heard throughout the vibrations of this superior Air Supply delivery.

This was our wedding music 24 years ago. I wore the cassette out by playing it over and over again. When I got the CD, which was impossible to find, the songs made me cry.

Oh My Gosh!!! Where should I start? First of all, I love this original version of "Now and Forever" as opposed to the 1995 version."Come What May " is an amazing description of love, if not the best. "Don't be Afraid" to me is the earlier "Someone". I love the sweet soaring harmonies and the deep and meaningful lyrics. "Even the Nights Are Better" is the best song on here of course. I love the whole "carnival" theme to the video. Russell Hitchcock will always be my hero. I first heard "One Step Closer" on the "Live:In Hawaii" VHS. I loved from the moment I heard it. "She Never Heard Me Call" is simply beautiful. I love the melody. "Young Love" is pretty good. I guess I've just heard it too many times. I really like "Taking the Chance" along with "Two Less Lonely People in the World". "What Kind of Girl" is also an amazing track. I just love every chord of every song on this album. Absolutely phenomenal

Side 1 was very good back in the day ... Taking The Chance is still one of my all time faves .

Looking at it as a whole, this is a pretty good album. I don't care much for "Young Love", "Come What May", or "Taking The Chance", probably because they're sappy and a tad boring. Of course, "Even The Nights Are Better" is one of their best songs of all time, so things even out. I also love "One Step Closer"; the only word I can think of to describe it is "fun". But hey, fun songs are fine with me. For some inexplicable reason, I love "Don't Be Afraid" and "She Never Heard Me Call". Maybe because they're just very... uh... pretty. I prefer their somewhat later albums, but this was nice.

Still under contract with Arista,Air Supply released this album in spring 1982. There were only two Top 20 hits,those being EVEN THE NIGHTS ARE BETTER and TWO LESS LONELY PEOPLE IN THE WORLD. The latter was not part of the follow-up GREATEST HITS in favor of that album's original track MAKING LOVE OUT OF NOTHING AT ALL. Other memorable 1982 Arista releases include Ray Parker Jr.'s(sans Raydio) THE OTHER WOMAN and Dionne Warwick's HEARTBREAKER.

One of the most beautiful albums of all time. Ballad after ballad, and some of the most melodic music ever. The harmonies are fantastic, the singing is phenomenal. Listen to Russel Hitchcock as he reaches the high, powerful notes in the gorgeous 'she never heard me call'. Listen to the gorgeous melody and guitars in the closer 'what kind of girl'. Delight in what must be one of the best songs of ALL time, 'Don't be afraid' leaves me in awe each time I hear it. This is true music. Nothing can sound this good. 'Come what may' is a soaring love song that is really emotional for those really in love, another great vocal. The other tracks are no less wonderful, there isn't a clunker amongst the lot. Some may claim it is boring and uninspired cheese, but I say air supply new what they were doing and did it amazingly. No experimentation here, just sublime melodies.

Luis Mejia (son) - So, Air Supply's breakthrough era ends a little bit quickly with the release of their last platinum album to score: Now And Forever. Although the album keeps around some harsh critics in things like being indifferent and boring, this may be a little bit true but its still Air Supply in their best expression, a very sincere and melodic pop with certain highlights. Most of the compositions sound as a whole, making many pieces appear unoriginal and sappy, but, as in every Air Supply album, there are a few songs that become legendary and emotional, in this case these are the most famous "Even The Nights Are Better", #2 billboard hit, its one of Air Supply most memorable songs and one that fits into pop masterpieces, it keeps a very little disco feeling and one of their best romantic features, while "Two Less Lonely People In The World" peaked at #13, its one of their most melodic songs with a feeling very close to "Lost In Love", I'm also aware that the song became a wedding anthem. Apart from this two, the remainings are somewhat slick and without recognizeable melodies but still fabulous pices, even the orchestral "Young Love" became a minor hit, while "Now And Forever", "Taking The Chance" and "Come What May" are minor picks.
