Title: Pleasant surprises
Review: In this release, Neal and Bruce shine with 2 pleasant offerings. Neal's "Variety Tonight" has an infectious groove that you just won't get tired of. And you can't help but get smile listening to Bruce's clever "Accidents Can Happen", a little commentary on murderous possibilities. The rest is solid REO, with the addition of some well done horn arrangements. It seems that in terms of creating great REO Speedwagon music, it is the combination of Gary, Kevin, Neal, Bruce and Alan. And this marks the end of that lineup with Gary and Alan departing. What followed, "the Chicken album" was pleasant enough, but certainly lacking.
Is the review positive or negative?
