5.0 out of 5 stars
Well orchestrated showcase of talent., August 2, 2004
This review is from: Welcome to Hollywood (Bonus Dvd) (Audio CD)
Glen Burtnik is a talented artist who has
written number 1 hits for Patty Smyth and Randy Travis.
He has released solo albums along the way, which are
now hard to find. Glen worked with Styx for many years,
first as a replacement for Tommy Shaw on vocals and guitar,
and then returning later as a replacement on bass for Chuck
Panozzo. This CD showcases Glen's talents as a songwriter,
musician, and producer. It combines hard rock, balads, power balads, punk rock and rap. I especially like the punk sounding Kiss Your Ass Goodbye and the 90's sounding Roses.
Buy this CD and DVD. You won't be disappointed.

Wecome Back Glen!, July 5, 2005
I thought that there would never be one of Glen's Musical delights that I would cherish as I do Palookaville- and yet I am finding hard to stay away from Welcome to Hollywood. I am spending much more time with my computer lately (with headphones on), pretending to "work" just so I can spend a few private moments with one of the very best! (oh, musicians....)
I love "Cry" and "Roses", but it is "Another" that actually brought tears to my eyes the first time I heard it. I can listen to every song over and over without ever becoming tired of it. I am glad that Glen is in this world, making it a better place. I miss hearing his melodious contributions to Styx, but I think that he is better on his own. BUY THIS CD!!

One of this year's best, December 15, 2004
This review is from: Welcome to Hollywood (Bonus Dvd) (Audio CD)
One of my favorite (if not THE favorite) new release of the year comes towards the end, with "Welcome to Hollywood." I owe all of Glen's previous, moderately enjoyable and solid releases... but this time he really steps out and raises the bar. He has gone from some very safe and straight-forward pop tunes, into a very edgy, incredibly polished and well-produced new direction. It's as if after leaving STyx for the second time, he's gone into a creative cocoon and stepped out with something new to show. There's some just plain great tunes on this CD, and not a weak one to speak of. Well-rounded and enjoyable from beginning to end!
