Too generous?

Great review and i love the song (My My My) It is a cool song. But my name says it all!!!!!!!!

Hey, Street Talk Reissue DESERVES that GREAT Review!! It has many great songs on the cd, and I love ALL the bonus tracks that Perry added to the cd!!!

Thanks for the feedback.

I don't think I was being a bit generous though. I've loved the album from the very first time I heard it and I continue to play it regularly.

Until I bought the reissue (yes I actually bought it, instead of getting review copies), I still had the original cassette version I bought lo those many years ago.

By the way, I have a mini review of Evolution up as well. If you go to the Reviews In Brief page and scroll down you will see it. It's currently been mislabeled as a review of Escape, but I'm getting that fixed.

I think you were right on!

I don't feel it's too generous. I simply love the album. I can't go on in a long winded dissertation (sp?) on the most minute of technical details, so I write both as a "pro" and a "fan."

But I never lie. If I didn't like something on the albums I review, you'll know it.

Thanks for reading!

Thanks for reading. We'll have to agree to disagree about "My My My" though.

Thanks for taking the time to read the review. I wish I had enjoyed all the bonus tracks like you do, but the first two just weren't all that great to me.

Thanks for reading and feel free to pass the link onto any other Journey boards you might post on.

I didn't think it was too generous either, TageRyche. If anything, I thought you were a little hard on the bonus tracks.

"The first 10 songs on the album are pure pop perfection. It’s always hard to find an album that is fitting of the description perfect, but Street Talk earned that title easily."


Just to clarify, I thought the above was a BIT too generous. I LOVE the album, but I'd never consider it "pure pop perfection." It's just a great album. I do, however, respect everyone who thinks it is. Again, good review.

Running Alone is cheesy, but other than that, it's a solid album.

Mika - "Life in Cartoon Motion" is by far the best pop orientated album released to date..perfection 100 times over, no fuckin' about here, it's an A1 album. A Street Talk of the new generation

Are you a MikaLoon?
Thought they were just an urban legend.

Loon no chance, just a perfectionist and this album makes the grade big time.

I love the lyrics to Running Alone!

The bonus tracks were average, that's why they were not a part of the original album in the first place

But man, what a classic soul/pop/AOR album. Still love it to this day also.

I hope to have reviews of Frontiers, Escape, and Steve Perry's For The Love Of Strange Medicine in the next couple of weeks.

Good to see it, hope you come back here and post about it.

Ooh, can't wait to hear what you have to say about "Can't Stop"

tragchk wrote:Ooh, can't wait to hear what you have to say about "Can't Stop"

Why is that?

To be honest, I haven't listened to the album in so long it's going to almost be like a new release for me.

For those who read this review, just a note, I'll have a review of Frontiers going up either this week or next. I just emailed it off earlier this afternoon.

Escape and Steve Perry's For The Love Of Strange Medicine still to come.

Good and honest review. It is a great album.
