Total disappointment

"I don't know how anyone can say this is classic Real Life. They changed their sound with this album. No more atmospheric synthpop. They sacrificed that for the techno dance club sound of the late 80's early 90's. God tonight is ok, nothing special. The strongest track, Lifetime, is the only one reminiscent of the earlier albums. By the way, does anyone know how I can find Heartland on CD, please write to me at jliosatos@go.com"

Euro synth

"This is very similar to most of Real Life 's ("Send Me An Angel" was the new wave hit) stuff. It is kind of poppy with a slight euro-goth edge and David Starry's breathy nazel vocals (think Neil Tennent on coccaine) on the top of it all. "God Tonight" is a strong pop song similar to Camouflage or Anything Box, very late 80s synth pop just waiting for its 12" dance club mix. Another track called "5-4-3-2-1" is an extremely ethereal euro-pop dance song. Very euro, good if you like that sound. The rest of the album is more rock-oriented but still takes the gloom depechey type vibe with it. It's one of those CDs that I have a few tracks that I listen to and I quickly skip through the others."

Lifetime Is Pure Delight

"This was the album that should have furthered Real Life's international success had Curb Records decided not to focus on country music while the album began to chart. A fantastc follow up to Heartland & Flame, this album is shamefully under rated. "God Tonight," "Kiss The Ground" and "5,4,3,2,1" will pack the dancefloors in seconds. David Sterry's vocals are a solid compliment to "Lifetime's" beat driven instrumentation. If you liked "Send Me An Angel" you MUST get this album."
