4 out of 5 stars Their best.......2005-05-03

Critically acclaimed but only mildy successful, this is my favorite Call CD.

Micheal Been reminds me alot of Jim Kerr (who along with Peter Gabriel did the backing vocals here). In fact "Reconciled" compares in sound to "Sparkle in The Rain" era Simple Minds with its big guitar driven sound.

Standouts include the familiar "Everywhere I Go" and "I Still Believe". My favorite though has to be the funky yet socially critical "Blood Red (America)". Nice changes of pace are to be found on "Sanctuary" and "Even Now".

Things do sound a bit little dated production wise. Still this is minor and doesn't detract from the overall enjoyability of "Reconciled".

5 out of 5 stars Magnificent Album From A Magnificent Band.......2004-02-29

Led by singer/bassist Michael Been, the Call were always a very critically acclaimed group, but sadly, for all of their musical firepower, they never acheived the commercial success that they so rightfully deserved. Though most of their albums are currently out-of-print, and they apparently disbanded for good after their 1997 release, "To Heaven And Back," the Call were--and are--rock music titans, and their phenomenal eight studio albums recorded between 1982 and 1997 are all worth seeking out.In 1986, the Call released what is without a doubt their masterpiece, "Reconciled." It is one of the greatest, most passionate rock albums ever made. The Call deliver one emotional, powerhouse rocker after another, such as the dramatic "Everywhere I Go," the triumphant "I Still Believe," "Blood Red," "Oklahoma," "Sanctuary," and the closing "Even Now." The band's musical interplay is tight, and Michael Been's lyrics & transcendent lead vocals are passionate with a capital P. And, for the coup de grace, "Reconciled" features guest performances by such Call fans as Peter Gabriel and Simple Minds' Jim Kerr on backing vocals, and Robbie Robertson on guitar. Outstanding music from start to finish, the Call's "Reconciled" is a magnificent album from a magnificent band.

3 out of 5 stars A new beginning for the Call.......2003-10-02

This album emerged in 1986 after a period of upheaval for the Call. They had had legal troubles with their first record label and management, and lost their original bassist and keyboardist. However, they survived to produce what is probably their first consistent album.

The group's sound significantly changed. Jim Goodwin's synthesizer arrangements are lighter than his predecessor's, maybe sounding a bit dated now. Singer/songwriter Michael Been moved from guitar to fretless bass. Tom Ferrier does provide solid lead guitar, but of course, the guitar presence is less dense with only one player. However, this is compensated by Been's superb bass playing, pulsing at the heart of each song. The band does provide excellent support for him, though, with musicianship superior to most 80's bands. No drum machines here!

Been's songwriting is as passionate as ever, dealimg with turmoil both personal (the frightening "Oklahoma", "Even Now", "Tore the Old Place Down") and political (the somewhat heavy-handed stomper "Blood Red"). However, Been never gives up hope, which is perhaps why the first two songs were the most popular - the energetic "Everywhere I Go"; and my favorite "I Still Believe", a classic statement of faith and committment.

The only problem some people might have with this is that there isn't a whole lot of variety on the album. One anthemic rocker after another might be hard for some people to take, with only the slower, more subtle "Sanctuary" offering a change of pace. Still, at 39 minutes or so, all the energy doesn't wear me down, anyway. And any album with "I Still Believe" is worth the price of purchase. So, this CD is a great introduction to one of the great bands of the 80's.

4 out of 5 stars Quite good.......2002-06-07

"Reconciled" was the first "alternative" record (as in vinyl) I bought as a teen, and it left a lasting impression. It's inspired and inspirational, with a distinct sound and voice.

5 out of 5 stars Indispensable!.......2002-02-02

This is one of the GREAT albums by The Call. Along with their first (The Call), Modern Romans, Into The Woods and Red Moon, this album is absolutely indispensable to any Call fan (sorry, just heard about Heaven & Back, so I can't call that one). This could easily stand alone as a Greatest Hits release. Been and the lads really show why they were the greatest American band of the 80's on this release. Along with The Long Ryders they were probably the most underappreciated band of the decade. Buy this album along with Rain Dogs by Tom Waits and pour yourself a long dram of Talisker or Laphroig and kick back and revel in true genius. Play it LOUD...it doesn't get any better.
