268) Reo Speedwagon-This Time We Mean It 1975

Av Mikael Persson - 25 maj 2015 15:03

 


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)


Score: 6,95

    Album number two from this incredible supergroup that made some unforgettable music in the 1980's! This is again melodic hardrock with a lot of keyboards and with impressing melodic, orchestral and powerful songs with fantastic vocals. A mus...

    8 years into their albumreleasingcareer J. Geils Band released another album worth of rockin' and rollin' songs but this time they took a much calmer and poppier path and not all the songs are top class anymore. It seemes like they went out ...

    This american doom-band has an interesting history. Formed as an side-project by Pentagram's Bobby Liebling and Geof O'Keefe and was completed with Randy Palmer as far back as 1973-74 when they also recorded some material which did not get r...

    Another one of my favorite bands from the 1980's and 90's. I have always loved thier simple and bluesy hardrocksongs with singer Jack Russell's clear and sensetive vocals. This, their 3rd album is one of the highlights of the band's career a...
