i've read the reviews. i completely disagree with those in disapproval. mike is and was the bomb. the songwriting and production on this album are great. philbin's bass lines are perhaps the best of any player. mike's vocals were top of the line. very soulful and spot on.

I seriously think that reo did better with Cronin. In Fact, Reo Speedwagon got rid of Mike Murphy and replaced him with Kevin Cronin because of the very same reason…

This album is great; this album as well as Ridin' The Storm Out are by far my favorite Speedwagon albums. The music has a very 70's midwest rock feel and doesn't disappoint. This album is truly all about the music; they seem very relaxed with the music and in-tune with themselves. Five Stars for sure!

Thank God these guys eventually hooked up with Kevin Cronin!
