5.0 out of 5 stars Still Loving You, June 7, 2006

This album came out in late 1991, at an unfortunate time. I say unfortunate because this was at the same time Nirvana hit it big, signalling the end of melodic hard rock and ushering in the era of so-called "alternative rock." My question is this: if it all sounds the same, how is it an alternative? Anyway, HERE is your alternative.
This band was formed by ex-Journey keyboardist and Santana co-founder Gregg Rolie about ten years after he split Journey and features Steve Smith (drums) and Ross Valory (bass), also from that band. Added to the mix were vocalist Kevin Chalfant and guitarist Josh Ramos, and the results were spectacular: "I've Got A Lot To Learn About Love" and "Show Me The Way" were Top 10 singles. Unfortunately, the song chosen as the third single was "Still Loving You", which is a really good song but not Top 40 material; personally, I would have chosen "You're Gonna Miss Me" (the best song on the album) or "Call Me" as the next single, but hindsight is always 20/20.The song failed to chart.In any event, the band toured with Bryan Adams and then dissipated until reuniting with new drummer Ron Wikso for the release of their second (and apparently last) album in 1996, titled "Eye of the Storm." That album is spectacular and highly recommended, but has unfortunately been unavailable for several years as a new release. I am extremely pleased to see THIS album available again, though, and I highly recommend it to anyone who likes Journey, Foreigner or Spooky Tooth.

5.0 out of 5 stars EXCELLENT!!!!, November 1, 2003

This is one of my most favorite cd's I own. I bought the tape back in 1991 when it first came out, then was lucky enough to find the CD in 1995. If you like Journey, then you will love this. There is actually a 12th track called "Can't Live Without Your Love" and it is one of my favorite songs of all time-and the BEST song on the CD. And to this day when I play these songs, they still do not sound dated at all-not bad for songs that are nearly 13 yrs old!!!

3.0 out of 5 stars A solid album, November 18, 2006

This self-titled debut album from the Storm was released in 1991. It consists of 12 tracks. The lead vocals are split between Kevin Chalfant and keyboardist Gregg Rolie--both provide enjoyable singing performances. The album's material is in a pop rock musical direction. I find the songwriting to be worthy, the musicianship to be tight, and the sound quality to be satisfying. My favorite songs are "You Keep Me Waiting," "I've Got a Lot to Learn About Love," and "Show Me the Way." "I've Got a Lot to Learn About Love" has a winning refrain. The plaintive "Show Me the Way" supplies a nice chorus. Examples of other compositions that I like are "In the Raw" and "Can't Live Without Love." "In the Raw" is fun and sports a captivating refrain, while the somber, pretty "Can't Live Without Love" displays a charming chorus and a gratifying keyboard melody from Rolie. As for the CD booklet, it includes the song lyrics and a black-and-white photo of the band. The disc is almost 57 minutes. This is a recommendable album.
