5.0 out of 5 stars All AMERICA fans should own SILENT LETTER, March 8, 2002

By	"cardinals4ever" (KY, USA) - See all my reviews

SILENT LETTER is easily the best late 70's AMERICA album.THE ONLY GAME IN TOWN leads off the album with one of AMERICA'S best rockers ever.In a "sane" world,ALL AROUND would have been a huge smash.I rank ALL AROUND as one of AMERICA's best songs ever.Gerry Beckley's 1960 is truly an amazing piece of songwriting,while Bunnell's AND FOREVER is smooth as silk.Other highlights are ALL MY LIFE and HIGH IN THE CITY.No AMERICA fan will be disappointed with SILENT LETTER.

3.0 out of 5 stars A bit uneven, February 16, 2007

By	A Fan (VA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Silent Letter (Audio CD)

This is not a bad CD, but it is not one of America's better efforts. The production is excellent but the songs are a bit uneven. Released in 1979, this was America's first studio album as a duo and last collaboration with legendary Beatles producer George Martin. It failed to produce any hits and the album did not crack the top 100 of Billboard's album charts. It does have some good songs such as "Only Game In Town", "All My Life", "One Morning", "And Forever", "Foolin" and "All Around". The Tower of Power horn section plays on "High in the City".

4.0 out of 5 stars An under-rated gem!, June 22, 2001

By	S. Jones "radiobeatlesteve" (Somewhere in Chicago) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Give this missed gem a listen again on compact disc. If you're are a true AMERICA fan, this is an essential album. A perfect production from the master of the studio, George Martin. Bunnell's "Only Game In Town" should have been a hit single. Beckley's "1960" still gives me a chill today. I'm glad the digital age has finaly blessed us with this long lost, and highly under-rated album!
