An excellent follow on album to Heart's self titled Heart. Good strong and powerful music that really touches the emotions.

Holds up surprisingly well after 20+ years

"I recently pulled this CD off the shelf to load it into iTunes, having not listened to it for probably 15 years. I was quite surprised to discover how much I still like it -- these are good songs.



The production is very much of the '80s, as other reviewers have stated, but that doesn't diminish the quality of the vocals and songwriting. The album isn't nearly as dated-sounding as some of its contemporaries, but I suspect some of that has to do with the fact that the Wilson sisters were not flash-in-the-pan one-hit wonders. Ann and Nancy Wilson are two talented people, and the talent shines through on this CD.



While this may not be Heart's greatest effort, it is certainly an excellent album. Whether you're feeling nostalgic for the '80s, or you just want to hear some good pop music, this is a worthy purchase."

Beautiful Music

"This album which was released in 1987, was one of the albums made a big change in Heart's music. It had become soft but beautiful music. These girls (and guys) had no trouble to show their softer side. The songs like "Alone" and "RSVP" indicate that the personal feelings are important in life as well as in music. Yes, they might sound as tough as in "Little Queen" or "Dreamboat Annie", someone would say that they have changed. I disagree with that. They still have rocking songs such as "Easy Target" and "Bad Animals". I like this quite much because it has beautiful songs but I still find "Little Queen" as my favorite album although albums like this and "Brigade" are very good.
