2.0 out of 5 stars Ouch!, September 12, 2000

Wanderlust (Ohio, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Rock & Roll Strategy (Audio CD)

The only reason this disc even got 2 stars is because of Donnie's contributions to the disc.

If you like sensitive 80's pop, I'd say that this may be a good CD.

If it's southern rock you're looking for, with the exception of a few redeeming tracks that Donnie has, this is best left out of your collection!

My rating is based on what the band was originally (and again, in the last few years) about.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Pop Rock Work Of Late 80s, July 9, 2000

susumu-5 (Japan) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Rock & Roll Strategy (Audio CD)

I didn't yet notice Don Barnes was not with the band. As a pure pop rock fan, however, I really enjoyed this album. With the vocal change the album sounded a bit like REO Speedwagon and Air Supply combined. Unless you are devoted fans of Don Barnes I am sure you will enjoy this album. The album sounds fresh with new vocal and the fact their greatest hit so far Second Chance(which became #6 in Billbord chart)came from this album must not be overlooked. Other recommendation include Midnight Magic, Love Strikes and Little Sheba which might have become great hits. Recommended for wide range of pop rock fans.

tHEO maniatakos (Melb, Australia) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Rock & Roll Strategy (Audio CD)

Max Carl (Gronenthal) is the best siner along with Richard Page. Buy the album. Beautiful stuff.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not their Best, but Produced a Pop Hit

4.0 out of 5 stars I first didn't like it...but now...
This album by 38 Special might not be thier hard-driven 'Joe Dirt' rock but it does have some gems. I enjoy the story of 'Little Sheba' but my favorite is 'Midnight Magic'. Read more

Don't waste your money. This album is cheesy, sounds like a million other pop rock songs, and is nothing compared to their earlier work. Read more
