3.0 out of 5 stars for now, September 28, 2000

By	Max P. Revis "M P R" (Coeur d' Alene) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

this album lays the foundation for the next decade of "harder and faster" projects. this line up for A.W. with the addition of brian greenway is the line up that gave us Nature of the beast and Rocked us thru the 80's. how ever if you arent a die hard fan save your $$ and grab one of the collections instead.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hard Times, May 22, 2009

By	Michael Courtney "exiled01" (San Antonio, Texas United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Perhaps the strangest release by April Wine. It isn't like their earlier albums released on Bell with the Henman brothers, but is a very light hearted release. If you like hard rock or the way you heard April Wine from First Glance, Harder Faster & Nature of the Beast, this may not be the release for you. Myles Goodwyn and the band appear to have a great time with this disc. There are ballads, slow numbers, reggae influenced, and country influenced songs. The musicianship and vocals are as good as any other April Wine release, but be prepared for off-the-wall. From the Jimmy Dean-like Hard Times to the slow danceable You Won't Dance With Me, this disc is full of surprizes. Don't spend a lot of money on this disc unless you have to have everything from the band, because this one is going to disappear. If you come into this without preconceptions of how April Wine should play and sound, you will come out a winner. It is my understanding that this was originally supposed to be a Myles Goodwyn solo Cd, but bore the April Wine moniker at release time. This disc does showcase the talent of the band, but not with the hard edge most are used to from better selling discs by them. Some of my favorites here are Child's Garden, Holly Would, You Won't Dance With Me, Mama Laye, I'd Rather Be Strong [Reggae influence], and Hard Times. At the right price this disc will bring some joy into your life. Be open minded!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Not Really An April Wine Album, November 21, 2006

By	D. Bowles (Planet Earth) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is not really an April Wine album. As prolific a songwriter as Myles Goodwyn is, it was only natural that during the process of writing and recording April Wine albums he would pen material that didn't fit on an April Wine album. Following the release of "The Whole World's Goin Crazy", Myles felt that it was time for him to release a solo album completely aside and apart from April Wine, using material he had written over the past several years. It was Goodwyn's desire to make an album that reflected his diverse musical influences and tastes, something that wasn't April Wine at all. Unfortunately his bandmates didn't want to (or maybe couldn't afford to) take a year off, so Goodwyn's solo album (originally titled "Goody Two Shoes") became the sixth April Wine studio album, but totally written, arranged, and produced by Goodwyn. This explains the "departure" from the "normal" April Wine sound that had their fan base scratching their collective heads. Ironically, this musical arrangement (pardon the pun) surprisingly spawned AW's biggest commercial hit to date, as the ballad "You Won't Dance With Me" became the fodder for broken-hearted teenage angst all across the world for the next several months. This album is worthwhile, even if just for the fact that it reveals a musical side of Myles Goodwyn that you wouldn't normally hear. There are a couple of highlights on the album besides the previously mentioned single - "Lovin' You" is another ballad very similar to "You Won't Dance With Me". "Holly Would" and the title track stand out as maybe the only songs that sound like what listeners had come to expect from April Wine as a whole - these two songs were added late to the project, replacing two other "less typical" April Wine songs.
