Tempering their bar band R&B with a touch of new wave pop production, the J. Geils Band finally broke through into the big leagues with Freeze Frame. Fans of the hard-driving rock of the group’s ’70s albums will find the sleek sound of Freeze Frame slightly disorienting, but the production gives the album cohesion. Continue reading “The J.

The 12 tracks that appear on The Best of the Alan Parsons Project include some of their greatest singles, like “I Wouldn’t Want to Be Like You” from 1977’s I Robot and the inducing “Games People Play” off of The Turn of a Friendly Card. Even though these songs are splendid all by themselves, they seem to lose their conceptual weight when taken away from their original albums.

Tears For Fears - The Tipping Point (2022) [Blu-ray + Hi-Res]

Seventeen years is a long time between albums. It’s even longer when you consider the magnitude of how much life happens during that interval. Tears for Fears had experienced mega pop successes (and loads of industry pressure) with Songs from the Big Chair and The Seeds of Love. Curt Smith, sick of paying fame’s price, quit in 1991. Roland Orzabal carried on the name for two more lackluster albums. Continue reading “Tears For Fears – The Tipping Point (2022) [Blu-ray + Hi-Res]”

“Physical” became such a monster hit — not just a hit, but a pop-culture phenomenon that was impossible to escape — that it became difficult to view its accompanying album as anything other than a conduit for the single. The thing was, Physical was a damn good record, in many ways one of Olivia Newton-John’s very best. Continue reading “Olivia Newton-John – Physical (1981) [CD-Quality + Hi-Res Vinyl Rip]”

Newton-John has actually made a good thing blander on her 1977 release, in which she milks her tender innocence and soft vocals until all that is left is a drought-driven yearning for substance. She would later learn the rules of rock on Grease and Physical, but here she makes you suffer through an array of drippy ballads and folk music.

The 1976 edition of Olivia Newton-John continues the positive vibe that Have You Never Been Mellow initiated, and though the title track hit number one on the adult contemporary charts, it, surprisingly, failed to go higher than Top 30 pop. A shame because exactly five years later a different song with the exact same title and sentiment went Top Ten for Journey; the comparison is appropriate because Don’t Stop Believin’ is one of the slickest of Newton-John’s country pop releases.
