5 out of 5 stars Wheels Are Back On Track!.......2007-06-17

After their sappy pop junk effort in 1982, the band leader Kevin Cronin must have been depressed though the album made so-so success. But 1984 album turned out to be dramatic and solid one. Kevin participated Survivor's Caught In The Game album giving chorus part such as It Doesn't Have To Be This Way. Jim Peterik of Survivor is somewhat like master to Kevin. Survivor's 1983 album didn't become a hit but might have given troubled rock band leader new vigor.

Opening track I DO' WANNA KNOW is blasting and strong and yet catchy rock anthem proving that their rock spirit is still alive. ONE LONELY NIGHT is in contrast a ballad but guitar solo is still solid just like the ones in HI INFIDELITY. LIVE EVERY MOMENT is catchy and fun yet solid pop song. And one of my top favorite REO songs to date. ROCK'N ROLL STAR is another gem track. Then comes CAN'T FIGHT THIS FEELING somewhat KEEP ON LOVING and TAKE IT ON THE RUN combined and REO's signature ballad hit. WHEELS ARE TURNING makes me feel like being in their rock concert, brilliant ending.

Verdict: REO's dramatic return to form.
Rating: 93 out of 100
Recommended for: REO Speedwagon, Journey, and Survivor fans and wide range of 80s pop rock fans.

5 out of 5 stars SPEEDWAGON'S best album.......2007-01-31

REO SPEEDWAGON is known for some of rocks best hit songs, such as RIDIN' THE STORM OUT, TIME FOR ME TO FLY and KEEP ON LOVIN' YOU. However, throughout their run of 1970's and 1980's hits they never put out an album that kept my attention all of the way through. To my ears (and I am admittedly not a tremendous fan REO SPEEDWAGON fan), even HI INFIDELITY had some glaring holes within its cuts. WHEELS ARE TURNIN' might have a song that is less than stellar, and certainly the band's growing penchant for pop songs flourished throughout, this album still had some remarkable songs such as THROUGH THE WINDOW, ROCK AND ROLL STAR, LIVE EVERY MOMENT and I DON'T WANNA KNOW... but to me... the true gem of this album (and one of the all time best SPEEDWAGON songs is... (Alan Gratzer drum roll please...) the title track WHEELS ARE TURNIN'!!! This song ranks right up there with my all time favorite RIDIN' THE STORM OUT (live version from A DECADE OF ROCK AND ROLL). I wish a 20th Anniversary re-release of this album would have followed those of YOU CAN TUNE A PIANO... and HI INFIDELITY. More so, I wish the band would have performed the incredible track during any one of the four REO SPEEDWAGON concerts that I have attended.

Please release a remastered version of this incredibly successful album... PLEASE.

3 out of 5 stars Hit or Miss album.......2006-02-21

Wheels are Turnin is so-so overall. It has a few great tunes like "I Dowanna Know" and "Cant Fight this Feeling" but something about this album doesnt seem to gel. REO was experimenting with more synth-oriented sounds in songs like
"Gotta Feel More" and "Through the Window"..these songs are just ok. Even the traditional sounding REO songs of "Break His Spell" and "Rock and Roll Star" fall short. Mix these songs altogether, and the album feel disjointed. "Wheels are Turnin" is the only album of REO career that I could not get into immediately.

3 out of 5 stars The Wheels are still turnin.......2004-09-05

Wheels are Turnin was Reo's most popular album to follow Hi Infidelity. Reo struck it big again with another huge power ballad Can't fight this feeling(still gets played at high school dances). Not some of Reo's best writing, but I dowanna know, and one lonely night are also highlights. If you're a big fan check out the Wheels are Turnin' concert video.

5 out of 5 stars REO at it's best.......2003-11-29

I really think "Wheels Are Turnin" IS REO at it's best. Having worked at a pop radio station as music director and DJ in the '80's when this was released, I remember actually starting "Can't Fight This Feeling" on our station THE DAY we received it. Others in the area followed suit. My favorite on the album by far is "I Do Wanna Know" which was the FIRST single released. I too loved the video to this one. All in all this collection shows REO as rockers, pop giants and balladeers all in one. Gary Richrath has got to be one of the most UNDERRATED guitarists ever. Even if you're a part-time fan of REO, you'll love this one. By the way, my love of REO goes gack to 1976 when I saw them open for BTO, (which I call the "alphabet tour".)
