5.0 out of 5 stars My favorite Gary Moore album., December 15, 2008

By	Richard Field "RickRoxx" (California, Orange County) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Contrary to some of the reviews written before, I REALLY love 80s rock and metal. I wont use the term 'hair metal'...That was the image. What came out of that great era is great musicianship, great shows, cool videos, and most important...Great songs..Yes Gary's album "Run For Cover" sounds like it came out in 1985, because it did.In 1985, there were a lot of advancements in recording that had been introduced, and Gary uses alot. Yes, there is the heavy reverbed 80s drum sound on here..I love it! 80s hard rock sounded huge and I thought it was great. Id rather have it sound powerful and huge than it sounding like it was recorded in a garage. And yes there is keyboards aplenty, which I think enhances the emotion on GREAT tracks like "Empty Rooms", "Once In A Lifetime", "Run For Cover", and the epic "Out in the Fields" featuring Phil Lynott. His vocal performance on here is fantastic, the solos amazing. And the hooks, I love catchy choruses, VERY MELODIC. If you love melodic rock from the 80s(think the best from Dokken, early Bon Jovi, early Def Lep with edge) you will LOVE THIS! And to haters of 80s hard rock, dont listen with your eyes, listen with your ears..Great musicians from that period. The image was just what rock looked like back then. The songs still stand up. Then again Ive played drums in bands for 15 years so Im partial to musicians. Gary Moore is amazing and this is just another great chapter in the recording career of the great Gary Moore. Thank you for putting out this album.

4.0 out of 5 stars Gary Mixes it Up, November 11, 2007

By	Mr. Scott D. Smith (Australia) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Gary tried some new sounds and different musicians on this, his most commercially ambitious album. Most of it works, some doesn't.

For me, Out In The Fields is Gary's best song of all time. Other standout tracks are Run For Cover, Out Of My System, and Once In A Lifetime.

The sound of some songs is very 80s and dated. Empty Rooms is a bit of a misfire, the original version on Victims of the Future is much better.

Overall a worthwhile if inconsistent album. I think it is a good companion piece to previous album Victims of the Future, which was a much more straight-forward rock album.
