Free Music Review: His Best
Hit: 5 Stars
I remember hearing this album in elementary school when my older brother bought it. I loved it then and love it now (I just picked it up on CD). Although the programming and synths have a mid-80s vibe, the melodies are powerful. I never noticed how great the vocal harmonies were either. And the lyrics are certainly the best he's written. I don't know if Rick was going through a really rough spot in his life when he wrote this album, but there is alot of anguish and thoughtfulness and sorrow in the songs and much of the lyrical content is strongly poetic. Instead of songs about trivial things (like JESSIE'S GIRL--a great song, but lyrically a bit more light), he writes about the disillusionment that can set in after marriage (WRITTEN IN ROCK), the apocalypse (WALKING ON THE EDGE), the death of his father (in the gut-wrenching MY FATHER'S CHAIR) and serenity and peace (TH TAO OF HEAVEN). He's had some other great albums, but this one is consistent, and I like every track on TAO. Rick is a damn good songwriter and vocalist and this album was at the apex of a strong career.
