Audio Life Dream is a very cool way to intro an album. A synthesized voice trails through the background while we hear the briefest of song samples from past albums Terry has been involved in. See if you can pick them all. It then launches itself into the opening track I Wanna Love Someone. Another interesting way to open an album, as the track is not the typical uptempo anthem many choose to start with. rather it's a heartfelt mid-tempo AOR track that uses the strength of Terry's voice to carry it. Up All Night offers another great change of pace after two pure AOR numbers. This is a catchy as hell track featuring Terry's band mates from The Sign. And typical of the style of their album Signs Of Life, this slightly progressive anthem rocker could easily have been lifted from that album. The song finishes with a fantastic and original dialogue from Yankees baseballer Michael Kay, who basically uses his time to rub Terry's nose in the fact the Yankees keep winning and Terry's beloved Atlanta Braves keep losing. Hilarious! Native Sons picks up the tempo again into rocker mode, with a big melodic number written in tribute to his days as vocalist with Strangeways. That's right, it isn't an old tune, but a new one written as homage to his old band. Once again Terry's voice is at full tilt. Waiting is a wonderfully warm an inviting mid tempo moody pop ballad. The warmth in Terry's voice and the subtle chorus make this one of the most memorable AOR masterpieces in recent times. I Should've Known is the first proper power ballad of the album. Complete with soft piano intro and a soulful power vocal, this song builds from a solid base to a big, rousing and emotion filled chorus that will have even the hardest hearts singing along. Basically it's a bloody great ballad for all fans of pure AOR. Back To Eden picks up the pace a little. The title track is more in the vein of the classic Strangeways material, soft lead guitars underneath a booming lead vocal. The chorus is memorable and singable, making sure this track is a highlight. Forever Now keeps the pace flying along with another uptempo track. This time it's a little less guitar dominated and more vocal driven, with a great lead providing most of the songs hooks and melodies. Only great singers can pull this off. Your Man Again slows the pace down again a little. This is one of my favourite tracks on the album. What we have here is a real sultry and emotional pop ballad. There are other ballads on the album, but all in varying styles. This one has power, raw emotion and real feeling, but all in a subtle way. It's not an over the top power ballad by any means. Light Of The Moon is a really cool track. Driven by a hard-edged guitar riff and very slow and moody for the verse, the song bursts into a power ballad styled anthem chorus with a really smooth yet powerful vocal. A very cool track. Another Chance is anther fabulous mid-tempo rock ballad with all the emotion and power of any Steve Perry track. This man has one seriously large set of lungs and they are used to capacity on this track. We Invented Love is another uptempo rock anthem in the vein of Native Sons. A good fun uptempo rocker with a pure AOR heart. Regulation hooks and harmonies thankfully are in place. Finishing off the album is fine style is Coming Home, a medium paced song that is both moody pop rocker and AOR anthem. More great lead vocals drive the track, that is completed by the appearance of some bagpipes and a rousing la lRead full review
