"Bought this when I was a young teen kid, was in love with it for years though everything else I listened to was Rock. Back then, this and their first album were THE albums to romance your woman with as a soundtrack.. Yeah, we all know "oh shiela".. but the slow songs on this album are guaranteed to get ya in the *mood*Years passed, tapes lost somewhere, went back to my Rock..Just recently bought these RFTW classics again for memories sake.. I'm tellin you, these slow songs are still amazing.It's a must have.. this is comin from a Van Halen fan even. =P"
A classic album-and don't buy into the Prince rip-off hype

"The 80's sound was very energetic, and even Prince himself was heavily influenced by the persons like Morris Day (who was in turn very much influenced by Prince). The standard for measuring Ready For The World is whether they made good music that is entertaining and enjoyable to listen to-not whether or not Prince was a heavy influence on the group. These gentlemen-from Sterling Height, MI, made great music.A Long Time Coming, which features the smash hit "Let Me Love You Down" is a huge fallup success to the groups firs album. All the songs are good, but especially: "Here I Am", "Baby Let Me Love", and one of my favorites "In My Room" and of course "Mary Goes Round". Buy this, and enjoy it, I'm sure you will!"
