This is, and always has been my favorite REO studio effort. 1978 was a good year for the band, the release with the somewhat odd name really showcased the talents and strength of REO Speedwagon. You still get glimpses of what is yet to come for the band (the transition to a power pop style in the early 1980's) with the power ballad "Time for me to fly" This cd flows so well, you may find that you'll be able to listen to it over and over without taking it out of the changer. Outstanding lead guitar, great vocals and well written songs are the hallmark of 1970's REO albums, but this one is really the best of the best. My favorite song of all time by the band is actually the 2 minute and 17 second instrumental "The Unidentified Flying Tuna Trot" found near the end, it is simply a tune that when I listen to it I crank up as loud as my speakers can take!Read full review
The whole album is perfect from Lucky for you's fast, to Do you know where your woman is tonight?... slower pace. Kevin Cronin(singer) said this was his favorite album they ever did, back in '94 when I met him at a bar(Gatorz) in SW Florida.
This classic rock collection defines REO and sets standard for all REO music was never topped this is by far their best collection. I love every song I am sure millions also do
