Not Air Supply's best

"I love the music of Air Supply and was introduced to their music by a friend. Oddly it was some of their later music that I was introduced to and not one of thier mega hits. This album fails to capture the magic that previous ones did. Their finest album in mind is "The Vanishing Race". Graham has taken over the job of lead singer on this album away from Russell. Russell needs to be the lead singer as he has the more dominant voice. The song writing was mediocre at best. I wish Graham would take outside song writers again and turn the lead singing roll back over to Russell. If your a mega fan you will find this album tolerable if you are just a casual fan, avoid this one."

One to avoid

"OK, first let me say taht I am a huge fan of Air Supply and always will be. The boys have been making alot of records for alot of years and I am sorry not everything they release and write is not their greatest work ever! This album was a different type of work for Air Supply in which in my eyes was a bit of a failure. I just did not connect with it at all. Graham Russell is still a VERY talented musician and he made me never doubt that after he released his first solo album "The Future" years after the release of this album. It is true that Russell is not able to sing like he used to but the man is getting older. I agree with a previous post that Graham is realizing this and writing to cater to Russell's voice as of now. I still love Russell's voice and will buy any future Air Supply albums (There is one due fall of '07). Now you might be saying, there is no way he is a fan trashing an album by Air Supply...but I am a fan and always will be but I am a realist too. There is alot of incredible music from Air Supply that you can buy but this is one to avoid. Air Supply's finest album? "The Vanishing Race" easily!"
