5.0 out of 5 stars A masterpiece - one of his very best efforts, June 30, 2003

While many Jack Bruce fans wax ecstatic over Harmony Row and Songs for a Tailor, this release is every bit as good, if not better than those two brilliant albums. In my mind it completes an early period trilogy of his work. The stuff he did after this album was good but never quite sounded the same as these three albums. I like the fact that he introduces some lead guitar work here - finally - after eschewing it on the first two albums. Steve Hunter is in great form and songs such as Time Slip are really spectacular. As in Harmony Row, he has an uncanny ability on this set to create beautiful, haunted worlds, with the assitance of Pete Brown's magnificent lyrics. And the cut, Into The Storm, has a great autobiographical quality - it could be the opening from a Broadway show - and I mean that as a compliment. There is not a single weak track on the album and his continued vocal mastery and bass playing agility is very much in evidence. Pieces of Mind is a great example of everything Jack is great at. Evocative, complex, searing, burbling, soaring music.

A note on the remastered version: it sounds very good - clean and well balanced and actually kind of "modern". The extra tracks are frankly irrelevant and not the reason you should buy this. The packaging and liner notes, however, are a big plus, as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars So Glad to Find this CD, March 17, 2006

I bought this album in the 70's when I was in high school. I've "recycled" a lot of albums and CDs since then, but this is still one of my very favorites. I'm can't wait for the CD to come in the mail, my album is worn out, but all the songs are a part of me, part of my internal great music collection. This is a perfect album, everything fits, there's not one song or note out of place, it's a truly amazing work.

Jack's voice is a beautiful, expressive instrument, full of passion and he uses it in amazing ways. Very few singers can match him. And he's been a long time inspiration to bass players. He really is one of the great musicians/song writers. I have no idea why more people don't know about him, or think that Cream was Eric Clapton's band, when Jack wrote so many of their songs, and was the lead singer, never mind his wonderful bass playing. His music has brought me joy, gotten me through the blues, made me dance, inspired me. Discovering Jack's music is like falling in love. I guess that's because Jack loves music so much, you can see it in his smile when he plays; he only wants "the real thing." Out of the Storm is the real thing. Wishing Jack good health, and hoping that more people fall in love with Jack's music.

5.0 out of 5 stars As good as it gets, May 5, 2003

Jack Bruce is truly the most underrated and under appreciated superstar in the history of rock and roll. I discovered this album when I was in high school and wore out the eight track tape playing it over and over. Hot on the heels of his work with West, Bruce and Laing, this solo effort showed the true spirit of Jack Bruce. Fusing rock and jazz like no other, songs like Timeslip and Keep on Wondering are forever timeless. There isn't a weak song on the album and yet there aren't many who have even given it a chance. People think Jack Bruce's only contributions to music came as part of Cream. Well, if you listen to this album I think you'll surely discover he was more of an influence on Cream than anyone ever gave him credit for being.
