Customer Reviews:
I was born in the wrong decade.......2003-07-15
I was born in 1985, so until a few months ago, until a fellow percussion major at my university was talking about TOP, I had never heard of them. I bought a few CD's and was immediately hooked.
This CD IS the 80's. My personal favorites include: Some Days Were Meant for Rain, Count On me, and Up Against Yourself. It's cheesy, but once you get over that, there's some pretty decent groove to it. Don't get me wrong, it's not David Garibaldi quality back on the drumset, but it's still got some groove.
After listening to this CD, and TOP in general, I've decided I was definitely born at least 15 years too late!
Not what I was expecting.......2003-02-24
I am one of the biggest Tower fans, and so this album came as a bit of a disapointment to me. "Credit" is what your buying the album for, but as far as the rest, not what Tower of Power is all about. I own all albums, and if you haven't heard Tower before, I don't suggest buying this one. You can find "Credit" on the Double CD Anthology album. Which I highly suggest buying for the Full Tower effect.
this IS the 80's.......2002-01-25
I admit this disc was disappointing at first. I huge leap from the TOP I was familiar with. But I tell you what...It sure grew on me. The tunes on Power are the epitome of the 80's. Several of the tracks sound like they could have come from the soundtrack of Lucas. Hey, it's a little cheesy. Don't crank it from your car with the windows down, but get past the cheesiness and enjoy it. There are still a lot of great horn arrangements here. And Rocco, on "Count on Me"... giving those fingers a serious workout. Some nice guitar leads, also. Not that that's what TOP has traditionally been about, but... So buy it. Complete your collection. Give it a chance, especially if you spent any of your teen years in the 80's.
Buy It For Credit!.......2001-05-29
I am a lifelong TOP fan. I own every TOP album. Have seen them live about 50 times. The lead singer here, Ellis Hall, was in my opinion, the best post-Lenny Williams frontman they ever had. However, except for the songs "Credit" and "Count On Me", the rest of this is dispensible. "Credit" alone, makes this worth having.
Credit where Credit is due.......2001-04-14
If for no other song, Credit is worth having. Sign on the dot! If you're a Tower fan, this is worth having!
