One of those albums that was highly praised by AOR community and I must agree to the fact that STRANGEWAYS have some really spectacular songs here and a monumental achievement of their career, songs that were remembered even after they're all gone. 'Only A Fool' and 'So Far Away' are two songs that I've been talking about, and the other two, which is slightly weaker but still excellent are 'Where Do We Go From Here' and 'Face To Face'.

But there is couple of duds here such as 'Stand Up And Shout', quite similar to the groovy opening track of 'Dance With Somebody' and 'Shake The Seven' which is an inferior tune. However, 'Goodnight L.A' is a nice lullaby ballad and 'Empty Streets' is also a good midtempo track. I think the remastered version is better, the sound production is great and you also get 4 bonus live tracks. 85%
