Hit: 5 Stars
I went into this album thinking I'd already heard Roger's two best solo albums, 'McVicar' and 'Under a Raging Moon,' and didn't think there could possibly be any more of his solo albums I'd ever rate that highly on my hit parade. But this album truly exceeded all of my expectations, and just goes to show that one should never accept the opinions of others and let them make up one's mind if one hasn't yet gotten the chance to directly experience it. In general, I really don't think Roger's solo work is as awful as its reputation. It is kind of hit and miss, but it's not what I'd consider awful either. It also helps that he co-wrote two of the songs, "Take Me Home" and the terrific "Balance on Wires." I'd never say this album ranks up there with the likes of his two best, but I still love it.
Unlike his two best solo albums, which are loaded with great rockers, this is more of a pop album, with some ballads thrown in. But in spite of being known as a rock and not a pop singer, Roger does a fantastic job with the material, and just because something is a pop album doesn't mean it should be dismissed. A well-made pop album can be just as capable as a rock album of being a classic, or at least a good album. He was also working with all of the right people for this project, and as usual his fantastic voice can carry any song. Though UARM was his last really great album, and the last time he screamed from start to finish, his vocals are still in top form here. He was starting to get a bit older, but he still had that wonderful vocal versatility, able to sound gruff, dangerous, and dirty in one song and then angel-sweet in another. There's just so much musical energy on this album, though perhaps I'm biased in liking it this much, since I was an Eighties child, and therefore have a sentimentality for that overproduced sound and just the general Eighties time stamp. I don't really think "Take Me Home" makes the best closing track, but in spite of that minor flaw, I consider this one of my favorite of Roger's solo albums. I'd totally recommend it to someone who already has his two best and is looking for something more.
