Classic Thrives 30 Years Later and Beyond.......2007-05-13

I fell in love with "Don't Ask My Neighbor" as a teenager; "Flowers" followed; "The Keys to My Heart"; many followed. Uplifting without being sappy, suffused by gospel influences, unbelievable harmonies, the Emotions are a huge influence on soul and their songs leave a stamp that will forever move and warm the heart.

The Emotions.......2006-08-29

Jeanette, Wanda, Sheila, and Pamela Hutchinson...Song Birds...Blessed by God...Unadulterated Harmony...Their songs mattered back in the day and today they still matter. Music that can take you away from everyday hustles and bustles - to a place that makes one long for the days when music had meaning: "Best of My Love, Flowers, Me For You, Don't Ask My Neighbor, Keys to My Heart, and Walking the Line"...all can make even the stoniest heart want to take a whack at love. I often play their songs and immediately my home fills with serenity...as if I am laying before a flickering fireplace on a winter storms day. I cannot say enough about these women (Wanda, Shelia, and Pamela/Jeanette) and their incredibly gifted voices. I highly recommend this and all other CDs of The Emotions, for all music lovers.

Near-Perfect Collection of the Most Durable Female Group.......2006-03-29

My only complaint with this collection is that "WHAT DO THE LONELY DO AT XMAS" was not included! This is what a female group sounds like when they're not all sexed-up, hyped-up, with 3-ton egos getting in the way. The Emotions still perform to this day with the original line-up; no running off chasing solo superstardom. Maybe it was because they were family.

20 STARS IS NOT ENOUGH.......2005-09-24

Highly recommend this CD. It takes me back in the Day.....70's - 80's. These voices are not doctored up in the studio....they really can sing. Buy this CD......it has all the Hits!!!! 20 STARS IS NOT ENOUGH!!!!

The Emotions.......2005-09-10

This CD brought back so many happy memories of the late 70's and early 80's. would reccomend to anyone and everyone

'Emotions' Runs High and Shows Mariah's Vocal Range To Great Effect.......2007-07-07

Not one to contently bask in the glow of her burning fame in the early 1990's, Mariah Carey grabbed her lunch pail and quickly churned out a very enjoyable follow-up to her debut smash 'Mariah Carey'. With the enormous success of her first CD, it was an intimidating act for any artist to follow it up. But she succeeds admirably with 'Emotions'.

It shows Mariah was no fluke, displaying notes and pitch-perfect vocals that even today very few female singers can match. But not all the songs are keepers. I usually play only the first 5 songs and skip the last 5. My favorite is still 'Make It Happen'. The power and range Mariah displays on this track is remarkable. She pierces the heavens with her high notes and enormous lung power. I think Mariah really sings this song like she means it because she's writing the song from personal experience to not give up on her dreams of 'Making It'.

I think Tommy Mottola used 'Emotions' as a follow-up CD to spotlight Mariah's voice more so than the songs themselves. You can hear every part of Mariah's vocal range in the choice of songs on this CD. Obviously her upper range gets more of a workout on this CD than any other one in her entire Sony/Virgin/Island catalog. I think 'Emotions' was released as a vehicle to show her vocal chops and it succeeded in every way.

I wouldn't say the quality of songs is right up there compared with her debut CD or later ones (especially 'Daydreams'), but her vocal high register has never sounded better. Keep that tea kettle whistling, Mariah !

This hasn't aged at all.......2007-01-21

While never a mega-fan of Mariah's, I was bowled over by her voice, the fact that she wrote her own songs, and that she released another album full of strong material just a little over a year after her debut. Some folks would have suffered creative burnout, but Mariah was just getting started.

I bought a copy of her self-titled 1990 debut, but I never did get around to owning a copy of "Emotions" (something that's going to change very soon). I don't why because I remember "Emotions," "Can't Let Go" (which, as much as I roll my eyes over love songs, has one of the prettiest melodies I've ever heard with a love song), and "Make It Happen" getting constant radio airplay in 1991 - and I enjoyed those songs each and every time.

Her lyrics were poetic and struck a chord with the then-teenager me, and her sound, while pop, had strong soulful overtones. She helped continue breathing life into a stale music scene and that feeling still resonates with me a little over 15 years after its release.

It can't be said enough that "Emotions" is classic 90s, is a great addition to the CD collection, and is Mariah at the top of her game.

And, best of all, the album's sound doesn't sound aged. - Donna Di Giacomo

Mariah Carey Causes Emotions: 4-4½ stars.......2006-07-26

As Mariah Carey released her second album in 1991, an enormous pressure laid on her shoulders to follow up the success of her debut album. Despite the fact that sales of Emotions did not reach the same level as Mariah Carey, it still manage to do extremely well, selling over a whopping 10 million copies. Not bad for a sophomore album!

The title-track Emotions was released to audience as the lead single, providing listeners with a contagious pop beat. The song displays Mariah's high pitch notes and awesome background vocals which include Trez Lorenz and David Cole. And You Don't Remember is a superb ballad where Mariah's pleading voice belts out how her lover does not remember the love, they shared. The chorus is a delight to listen too - simply wonderful. My favourite song on the album is up next; the splendid Can't Let Go. It is no wonder that many consider it among Mariah's best ballads to date. Released as a single, the groovy Make It Happen got stuck at the no.2 position, I recall. However, the teasingly song is a wonderful treat. The overall message of the song: You should never give up, work hard and your dreams will come true in the end. If It's Over, a collaboration between Mariah and Carole King, has a taunt of a jazzy mood to it. Mariah Carey belts out the chorus powerfully. Once again, I prefer the Unplugged version - however, this is purely a matter of taste.

You're So Cold starts of with Mariah's praticing her vocal cords, functioning as a build-up to the actual song. The lyrics are a tad annoying, yet the song is still quite joyous. Albums tend to get weaker at the end, which is also the case with Emotions. To Be Around You, Till The End of Time and The Wind are likeable songs, however they do not hold up well against the rest of the album's excellent songs. The ballad-like So Blessed is another highlight of mine. The dreamy melody culminates with the more aggressive chorus especially the belting of the words ''You are my heart'' followed by the softer ''My everthing'''.

Emotions is one of Mariah Carey's best studio-albums, in my opinion. The combination of brilliant pop ballads and excellent up-tempo songs are clearly present on the album. If you are a big fan of Mariah's poppier songs or crafted pop songs in general, Emotions will surely be a safe bet. The only complaint I have with the album is that some of the material is a tad weak compared to the brilliant songs, which are to be found on Emotions; however, this is hardly abnormal. Emotions is a very solid effort and a better album than Mariah's debut.

Overall Rating: 8.5/10

Emotions Album by Mariah Carey.......2006-05-22

and half of the songs 1998-present

Fantastic.......2006-02-18

Mariah Carey burst onto the music scene with her fantastic self-titled debut album, and followed it up with her second album "Emotions". Essentially "Emotions" is in the same mould as her first album - beautiful vocals, heartfelt lyrics and an emotional connection with every songs.
Standouts in this album include:
"Emotions" - a good dancing track that features Mariah's piercing vocals.
"Can't Let go" - a beautiful ballad. One of Mariah's best songs
"Make it Happen" - A description of Mariah's life prior to becoming a superstar. Very catchy and uplifting
"The wind" - Very last track of the album. Mournful, breathtaking vocals combined with Mariah's sombre voice. Truly Phenomenal
Emotions is a truly magnificent album, featuring a wonderful collection of songs, each one a true delight to listen to.

Good final album just before the Enz.......2007-04-24

Although "Conflicting Emotions" doesn't quite hold up to the band's best albums ("Corroboree", "True Colours", "Time & Tide", "Frenzy" and "Mental Notes"), the highlights are among the best songs that Tim and Neil Finn wrote. "Message to My Girl" is one of Neil's best ballads with a thick, rich melody and emotionally naked lyric. "Bon Voyage" the closing track by Tim is bitter-sweet as he had already made the decision to leave the Enz for a solo career.

I'd suggest picking up the remastered version as the album sounds much, much better than the previous CD release. Although there are no bonus tracks on this release (which is a surprise I would have thought that "Next Exit" would have been put on here but it shows up on "See Ya' Around" the last Enz studio album when Neil fronted the band), we do get the original lyrics and photos of the band. I'm disappointed that we didn't get any liner notes discussing the final album to feature Tim as leader of the band (although it's clear he was ceding leadership to Neil as Neil wrote most of the material on the album).

Bonus live tracks would have been nice here as well but we don't get any which really surprised me. Either way, this edition is the one to go with because Eddie Rayner's remastering gives the album a much warmer, richer sound with better detail and, near as I can tell, Rayner doesn't compress the heck out of the music to make it sound louder so the dynamic range is very good on this as well.

classic kiwi music.......2007-04-10

for those who dont know, this is one of new zealands most enduring bands.if you havent heard this band before this is a good place to start. this being their last album,it is polished and gives a broad spectrum of their later years.listen to the samples.try to get the remastered version.

Enjoyable.......2005-08-23

If you like TV/movie soundtracks, and Andromeda, you should like this. Good Andromeda music, also contains the two different opening themes. (Remember, it is a TV soundtrack so it contains synthesized music.) I enjoy listening to it, and can have it playing in the background at work too without it being bothersome.

A Great Soundtrack.......2005-02-01

The soundtrack to Gene Roddenberry's Andromeda is one of the best sci-fi soundtracks to come out in quite a while. I found the music exciting, interesting and intriguing, and on several tracks simply exhilarating; composer Matthew McCauley really does take you on a musical roller-coaster, from the stately High Guard Theme to Dylan's theme to Trance's and Beka's themes to the Nietzschean Attack theme. McCauley musically explores each character, underscoring and enhancing their unique personality. The album has kind of a New Age-ish sound to it on several tracks which gives it a mysterious ethereal quality. A great score for a great series. Composer Matthew McCauley certainly knows his stuff. This is just great music whether or not you're a fan of the show!

love it.......2003-08-08

Great presentation of soundtrack. Interesting instrumentals for even those who are not familiar with the show. I listen to it practically all the time!

A great television score!.......2002-03-27

First off, this is a television soundtrack, not a movie soundtrack-- many of the "instruments" are synthesized. Okay, that aside, this is a great album! It's been a long time since I've heard so many different character themes on a tv soundtrack. From the Heroic "Dylan Hunt", to the brooding "Rev Bem and Magog" music, to the outright ominious "Neitzscheans" themes, this album is a winner. It's nice that the producers also included Alex Lifeson's "March of the High Guard" theme from season 1, which is regrettably no longer used on the show. The music on this album takes you on a emotional roller coaster-- from mysterious, to brooding, to heroic and back again. High recommended for fans of both scores and the television series alike!

Angels must sound like this..........2007-06-15

The Emotions, with the help of the elements, Earth Wind & Fire, produced the most compelling female vocal harmony group record of the 70s, The Jones Girls came in a close second... Their voices soar and their harmonies are beautiful. "Best of my Love" & "Don't ask my neighbors" was the hits that got a lot of airplay back in those classic days of Soul music. The whole CD is great and totally positive in the messages of love & happiness. This is definitely one for the classic soul collectors.

Great Album, Great Songs, But a Terrible Re-Master.......2007-02-18

This CD sounds like it was recorded with a sock over the microphones, and sounds muffeled and there is an extreme loss of the midrange on the CD. Until they re-master this, I'd buy the record and convert it digitally if you know how, using free software.

"Emotions breakout album".......2007-02-05

In the summer of 1977 the Emotions came out with their second Maurice White produced album and from the start we get the r&b/dicso smash "Best Of My Love" which went number one r&b and pop. This song became their trademark song which is sung by lead singer Wanda Hitchinson and was played in disco's all across the country. This albums is flawless and you can let it play all through but my personal favorites are "Don't Ask My Neighbor","Blessed", and "Rejoice" which are all the last three songs on the album respectively. The second single "Don't Ask My Neighbor" with its laid back and sexy melody was also a big hit off this album, but the best song has go to be the inspirational "Blessed" with its its back and forth tempo and another stunning lead by Wanda showing off her great vocal range on the vamps. The production by Maurice(who also helped out on vocals) and co-producer Clarence McDonald is top notch and the song arrangements are all done by Tom Tom 84, with key members of Earth Wind & Fire(which include bassist Verdine White and drummer Fred White,and guitarist Al McKay) supplying their excellent musicianship along with other great studio musicians of the era. Some of these songs could have been done by EWF which is really not a bad thing considering the band was at a peak moment in their careers creative wise. One of many albums the Emotions collaberated on with Maurice White and their most popular, considering its the only one available on cd. A sure keeper and a must have along, but still waiting on the previous album Flowers to be release on cd which was also great.

Girl Groups - Take Notice !!.......2006-03-29

If you're looking for a blue-print for a sucessful girl-group, then vocally you need to start with this album. The songs are upbeat and positive without being too preachy or sugary. The vocals are impeccable. En Vogue, Destiny's Child, Xscape, and SWV probably were schooled by the superb harmonies of this classic release! I highly recommend: "BEST OF MY LOVE", "DON'T ASK MY NEIGHBOR", and "A FEELING IS"

The "Magnum Opus" of Girl-group Soul.......2002-04-05

Along with Love Unlimited, the Emotions defined girl-group soul harmonies in the 1970's. "Rejoice" is the Hutchinson Sisters pre-eminent work, with harmonies as relaxing and refreshing as a Key West sunset.
Teaming with Maurice White (Earth Wind and Fire) at his creative peak, the Emotions blend spirituality and romance in a way that puts Prince to shame. Whether uptempo (the classic "Best of My Love"), sultry ("Don't Ask My Neighbors", which should be required listening for any female R&B singer"), or from the choir to the masses ("Blessed", a beautiful appreciation of life's gifts), the Emotions were at the top of the game when this album was released in the mid-70's.
The fact that this album is available on CD speaks volumes for it's quality, and freshness, 25 years post-release. Much of the classic r&b of the 70s remains unreleased, or available as import only. Kudos to Kalimba/Columbia for seeing that new generations can hear the finest three voice harmonies of the 70s.

The art of Smooth Seduction is in good hands. Will Downing masterfully displays his awesome musical ability. His respect and approach to the lyrical content with great respect to the melody is by far second to none. " A Million Ways To Please A Woman" Will says it all buy the CD get out your pen and paper get a nice glass of wine and do your homework.

Downings Incites "Emotions" Once Again.......2005-01-09

Prime Cuts: Hey There Lonely Girl, Beautiful to Me, A Million Ways

Hailed as the avatar of sensuality, Downing's 11th album "Emotions" continues to accost the rabid admiration of the hopelessly romantic. Accompanied by a cadre of laureate such as Norman Brown, George Duke, Kirk Whalum and Nicholas Payton, Downing continues to execute his trademark soulful tenor over some of the most quixotic musical expeditions. Unlike many of his contemporaries, Downing has resisted the cusp of commercial allure by not giving in to the beeps of the hip hop shenanigans. Rather, what we have here are 10 solid soulful numbers with a tilt towards modern smooth jazz. Ironically, "Emotions" is also one of Downings most successful albums of late, making its way to the number 2 position on Billboard's Modern Jazz album chart as well as bowing at number 9 on the R&B/Hip Hop album chart.

Without a doubt, "Hey There Lonely Girl" is easily the highlight. Abetted by the smooth vibes of tenor saxophonist Kirk Whalum, "Hey There Lonely Girl" is a milquetoast romantic invite from an earnest Downing over a gorgeous melody. Corollary to that, "Riding on a Cloud," a ballad coming from the pens of Barry Eastmond and Gordon Chambers, finds Downing on cloud nine basking in love's delight. For aficionados of Downings' late night love ballads such as "Maybe" from his "Sensual Journey" CD, "Falling in Love with Me" is sultry, sexy and warm. Love again is the theme of "Beautiful to Me," but this time we find Downing pouring out his heart to his daughter on this ode of paternal affection. Such benevolent affirmation from a father to his daughter is certainly much called for in this culture of the disintegration of the family.

On the uptempo side, lead single "A Million Ways" shows Downing's keening awareness of the opposite sex as he rightly points out that a woman's happiness is not restricted just to the bedroom. This is a much needed to hear advice from those who think that women are from Venus. Norman Brown adds his plush backing vocals to the easy going "King of Fools." As Downing has been known for his share of covers, this time two are included. "Anytime," a track from Janet Jackson's sex charged "Velvet Rope" CD, is perhaps an uncanny choice. Sad to say, Downing has blatantly tried to transposed Jackson's eroticism over with lustful moans which are uncalled for. Also, "Anytime" does not carry the same weight melodically as some of Downings' other covers (such as brother Michael Jackson's "I Can't Help It"). "Daydreaming" is the other cover this time from the Aretha Franklin. Compared to the Queen of Soul's spirited version, Downings' cover sounds tautological.

Nevertheless, for fans of smooth jazz and those who like R&B ballads, this is a collection great tunes from a seasoned artist who speaks the language of love with fresh argots and with an accent eloquent with sincerity. Thanks are in order to GRP Records for allowing Downing to advance his vision of music without concessions to the frivolity of today's music.

THE SMOOTHEST VOICE SINCE LUTHER.. BUT EVEN SMOOTHER.......2004-12-02

THIS BROTHA AINT NO JOKE! ALL OF HIS ALBUMS ARE NOTHING BUT SOOTHING FOR THE SOUL. I OWN ALL OF HIS CDS EXCEPT FOR HIS FIRST TWO WHICH I AM WORKING ON,..EVEN HIS MOST RECENT CHRISTMAS CD WHICH IS BETTER THAN HIS LAST TWO CD'S(EMOTIONS, AND SENSUAL JOURNEY). NOW U KNOW THAT IS DARN SUPERB FOR A CHRISTMAS CD.. THE WAY HE SINGS AND FLOWS ON HIS CHRISTMAS CD IS REMINDS ME MUCH OF HOW HE FLOWS, SINGS AND HITS ALL NOTES ON THE SCALE SHOWING OFF HIS SKILLS AS HE DID ON HIS INVITATION ONLY CD.. WHICH IS HIS BEST EVER IN MY OPINION! NOT TO TAKE AWAY ANYTHING FROM HIS GREATER THAN GREAT PERFORMANCES ON HIS LAST TWO CDS.. BUT I LIKE HIS EARLIER ALBUMS. THE WAY THAT HE SINGS ON THOSE WERE JUST SO MUCH MORE PRETTIER (SHOWING OFF HIS SKILLZ-RANGE) I UNDERSTAND THAT HE'S TRYING TO ACHIEVE CERTAIN LEVELS A FAR AS RECOGNITION AND A BIGGER AUDIENCE, BUT I THINK THAT WILL SHOULD MAYBE FOCUS MORE ON THE AUDIENCE THAT GOT HIM WHERE HE IS TODAY.. HIS ORIGIONAL ADULT FAN BASE. IF THESE NEWJACKS ARENT READY FOR HIM, THEN THEY'LL JUST MISS OUT.. THEY'LL CATCH UP TO HIM SOONER OR LATER. (HOPEFULLY SOONER) BUT AGAIN.. NO KNOCK.. I AINT MAD AT CHA WILL,.. DO YOUR THANG BROTHA. U DA MAN NO DOUBT! WISH I COULD SING LIKE THAT. WHEN I GROW UP,. I WANNA BE JUST LIKE U!!!

ummmm huh!.......2004-12-01

yeah.... this brotha never changes his formula. always smooth, always on target no interludes, no filler, just straight ahead good music. hes in a class with frankie beverly, or luther vandross. always guaranteed to make a "listenable all the way through" album. ummm huh!

You might not recognize N'Dambi's name, but if you own Erykah Badu's Live album, you've already heard her voice. Better known as Ms. Badu's favorite backup vocalist, N'Dambi is destined to become one of the brightest stars in today's burgeoning neo-soul movement. The Dallas-based artist's debut creation, Little Lost Girl Blues, was self-released under the auspices of N'Dambi's own Cheeky-I Productions. It's a well-crafted gem that deserves a much larger audience than its limited distribution has cultivated. The album opens with the spoken-word mood composition "Picture This," and from there journeys into explorations of scat-laced jazz ("The Meeting"), textured soul ("Can This Be Love"), and lushly retro R&B ("What's Wrong With You"). The album's signature piece is the achingly beautiful "Sunshine," which pairs the artist's straightforward vocals with a spare acoustic guitar line. N'Dambi's style is more substantial than Badu's, less mannered than Amel Larrieux's, and infinitely more complex than Angie Stone's. All comparisons aside, N'Dambi's talent speaks for itself. --Rebecca Levine

Little Lost Girls Blues.......2006-11-20

I was lucky enough to get my hands on this cd before the store ran out of copies. I loved her voice on Erykah Badu's live cd and knew that I'd probably enjoy N'Dambi's debut. The tone of her voice reminds me of Nancy Wilson - her voice is warm & her scatting throughout some songs is stellar & the musical production on the disc as a whole is excellent making it another great entry into the alternative r&b field.

My favorite tracks are: RAIN, SOUL FROM THE ABYSS, THE MEETING, PICTURE THIS, WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU, CAN THIS BE LOVE & THE SUNSHINE

If you're an Erykah Badu fan, you'll enjoy this disc too.

WONDERFUL.......2003-05-28

Wonderful CD to drive in your car to on a nice summer day!

good stuff.......2002-11-09

The beats on here is what I apreciate the most, she has like the best Jazy background music I have ever heard. Her voice is similar to "Kelis" but deeper. This is good chill back and relax music. She just needs to up her lyics a bit, and use her voice more, like the way she sung on "Crazy world" and "the sunshine".
Overall it's very much worth the money...Her beats are better than Jill Scott's and Erykah'.s

Great Music..........2002-04-03

N'Dambi tears it down when she backs up Erykah and she really did a fantastic job with her debut CD. "Sunshine" is something that I can play over and over again as well as many others. She's unique and very talented. I hope a big record company picks her up one day. Like her name, the music is unique and deserves a bigger audience. I was hooked when I saw her do a tribute for Nina Simone in Philly at an IAAAM funciton. She had cats standing up and screaming. Get this if you don't have it already....

Above average goth metal.......2004-02-15

Falling somewhere within that emotional limbo between Type O Negative and The Cult, Beseech temper the melancholy musings of Peter Steele's clan with a healthy shot of catchy minor key rock and roll. Neither convincingly bleak nor melodically mainstream, "Dark Emotions" straddles the line between art and commerce; in the hands of a Mutt Lange or Ross Robinson we're talking radio crossover, if on a limited basis, and possibly even media coverage in mass appeal metal publications like Circus and Hit Parader. "Ghost Story" and "Lunar Eclipse" could even appeal to fans of the Cure and Joy Division, but thankfully nothing on this darkly melodramatic opus stoops to anything Manson-like. Theatrical and at times a bit schlocky, "Black Emotions" nonetheless wields significant heft in all the right ambiguously somber places.

Gotta get the CD!.......2004-01-12

The first song from Beseech I heard was 'Manmade Dreams'. I had never heard of them before and that instant I wanted more!

Now I have all their CD's, which all are excellent but this is definitely the best of them. In 'Souls Highway' they sound more produced, fortunately the music is still excellent. 'From a Bleeding Heart' sounds a bit rugged, but that's OK. The music is still very nice.

Standing with the best ethereal black NorEuro doom metal.......2003-03-11

This is really amazing , an outstanding achievement, but even moreso, than most seem to want to realize. First of all there are no gutteral death growls, however that are barratone pagan singing that offset really well with the beautiful angelic non-credited female singer, where the words are legable. This of course has nothing to do with the fact that this group, for some ungodly reason beyond comprehension, do not list the female vocalist's on their cd covers. Ok, I realize they may not be WITH the group, but the voices can run a close second to any female singers from fellow, northern Eurpean , angelic black pagan doom metal groups or facsimilie thereof, including
-The Sins of thy Belloved - Within Temptation (and After Forever)
-Edenbridge - Tristania - Avrigus - Darkwell - Theatre of tragedy
where the mix of black doom gutteral growls are all really offset by the angelic pagan female vocals(perfectly pagan combination.
Out of Europe has come, the Gothic retribulations from historical past to the present acceptance of the return of non confirmation of the existance that this style of music is biblical in its sense of dark brooding, that can be a saving grace.
This sound and it's style, are lush with light and dark, is far more melodic than most of its peers, the female vocals are better than some of the great , Norwegian groups. So this Swedish crew seems to have fit right in. Great listening experience.

judging from 1998's song rainbowman, this band is excellent.......2000-06-15

beseech may not rock hard, but they are still a great band. i have one of their songs. rainbowman from 1998's from a bleeding heart,on a metal blade compilation disc. while they switched to pavement, they are still decent

Great Billy Squier Album.......2006-04-19

EMOTIONS IN MOTION is a great Billy Squier album. There are many great songs here, and it holds up far better than a great deal of other 80s rock. If you enjoy artists like Night Ranger, Ted Nugent, or Bon Jovi, you'll want this one.

Excellent album, but not as good as Don't Say No.......2004-04-27

Emotions In Motion (1982.) Billy Squier's third solo album.

When Billy Squier became a solo artist following the disbanding of his band Piper, it's not likely that anyone knew how much success he would end up achieving. Although his first effort as a solo artist, Tale Of The Tape, was mediocre at best, his sophomore solo effort Don't Say No was an instant hit. Squier became wildly popular overnight. Following the release of that album, Squier released his third solo album, Emotions In Motion. Is it as good as the last one? Is it another Squier masterpiece? Read on for my review.

For this album, Squier slows down the general pace of his music and goes for a more melodic sound. If you're looking for another album of hard rocking tunes, you might be disappointed with this release. However, if you liked the last album, and you've got an open mind, you may actually end up liking this one. It kicks off with Squier's biggest hit that didn't come off of the Don't Say No album, Everybody Wants You. To this day, the song still receives radio play on classic rock and eighties pop stations alike, and with good reason - it's a regular rock masterpiece. Although it was an excellent song, the others are equally good. The title track and the minor hit She's A Runner are just a few of the masterpieces that this album serves up. Other tracks find Squier experimenting with a number of new styles, and for the most part, he finds success with them. In the end, we are left with what is overall a good album, but could have been better. Like so many other fans, I would have liked another album consisting mostly of hard rockers. Oh, well. I'm not complaining. It's still a good album.

Emotions In Motion may be a hard album to remember due to the vast successes of Don't Say No, but it's still a very good album. It doesn't top its predecessor, but it gets the job done nonetheless. Unfortunately though, this and every other Billy Squier album (other than Don't Say No and some budget-priced compilations) are now out of print, meaning you're going to have to do some serious hunting on the internet and/or in used CD stores if you want to find them. But if you're able to get your hands on this album, and you're a fan of classic rock from the eighties, buy it. You shouldn't be disappointed.

GET THIS!!!.......2004-02-06
