This is the swedish popartist Harpo's 4th album. It consists of pop and light rock inspired by the popular music at the time and that also means those terrible disco wahwah-guitars that was popular then. There's a lot of humour in Harpo's lyrics and music and on this album some of the swedish pop- and rockelite-musicians of the time contributes with their playing. But it does not help much. There are a couple of listanable songs but not much more. The album reached nr. 4 on the swedish charts.

This was the 5th album from and the 3rd and last to feature singer Mike Murphy. It peaked at nr. 74 on the Billboard-list. At this time this american band sounded like many others in the melodic rock/hardrock-vein that was popular at the time; it's simple riffs and good melodic songs. They did not have anything that separated them from other bands but this album is good enough but also includes some weaker moments. There would be better times to come for this band!

1)Reelin' (8,0) Heavy southern-rock shuffle. It rocks!

2)Headed for a fall (7,5) Melodic rock in Outlaws-style.

3)River of life (7,0) A good calmer rocksong. Sounds a bit like 70's band Dragonfly.

4)Out of control (8,0) Rock'n'roll!

5)You better realize (4,5) Boring slow rock-shuffle.

6)Gambler (7,0)

7)Candalera (7,0)

8)Lies (7,0)

9)Dance (6,5)

10)Dream weaver (7,0)

Rob Fisher
November 5, 1956 – August 25, 1999

L-R: Rob Fisher, Simon Climie

As half of the 80’s pop duo, Naked Eyes, Rob Fisher was responsible for a couple of the most memorable hits from the classic MTV generation.  Fisher played keyboards and wrote songs for the group which included singer, Pete Bryne.  Their 1983 cover of Burt Bacharach’s “Always Something There To Remind Me” was a Top 10 hit in the U.S., while their follow-up single, “Promises Promises” reached #11 on the charts.  Following the 1985 break up of Naked Eyes, formed another duo, this time with Simon Climie.  As Climie Fisher, they scored a moderate his with “Love Changes Everything” in 1987.  When the band dissolved in 1990, Fisher basically left the business.  He died on August 25, 1999, following surgery for bowel cancer.  He was just 42.
