5.0 out of 5 stars Passion, soul...Tower of Power is still in the slot, April 17, 2003

They still have the stroke. I am seasoned TOP fan from days of East Bay Grease and after a couple time through, this CD really sunk in. After 100+ times, it was into my soul. The passion, the soul gets into your veins and shapes your memories and experiences of life. This will always be my 2002 CD...this will grow on you...it's the real deal baby!

5.0 out of 5 stars excellent return to their funky East Bay Grease Roots, November 11, 1998

This review is from: T.O.P. (Audio CD)

I came in contact with this album through blind luck. A freind of mine who knew of my love for their horns turned me onto this album. It is a good mixture of funky tunes with their great horn section, and some slow love ballads that are reminiscent of "You're still a young man" and "So very hard to go". Overall, I think it is one of their best albums ever that unfortunately didn't get a lot of commercial air play but is still outstanding for the T.O.P. fan or someone who loves horns and the funky sound of the East Bay.

This review is from: T.O.P. (Audio CD)

I've listened to just about every recording Tower of Power has ever made and T.O.P. is the second best in the last 15 years, the best being "Rhythm and Business." The tunes comprise Tower of Power's brand of funky R&B, with some jazz riffs here and there and good horn arrangements, as usual. There's little lead guitar for fans of such. Since Bruce Conte left the band in 1979, there hasn't been much of that, darn it. (Conte briefly returned to the band from 2006 to 2007.) Moreover, there really isn't a classic tune on this album, but all of them are fairly good; and there are many -- 14 tracks. Wow, I thought the CD would never end! The best of Tower of Power was definitely in the 1970s, but this disk is worth while.
