4 out of 5 stars Very Good!.......2006-03-25

Cd has a jazzy vibe that I could hear being played on the local smooth jazz station. Seems like Robert Lamm's solo efforts are what Chicago could have been doing had they been releasing new records all along since the 90's. Many of the songs sound like what you would find on a Chicago record.

1 out of 5 stars Just Killing Time.......2005-05-01

The only decent song is the "Time" song. Can't even remember the full name as it is not that great. The rest of the CD is just plain bad. I expected a lot more from Lamm. I am a big Chicago fan, but this just shows Lamm isn't much without the band to hone quality arrangements and trombonist James Pankow writing a killer horn arrangement. It appears that Lamm is just killing time with this wasted effort. It has pretty much turned me off of any Robert Lamm solo work.

Don't buy this CD!!!-- Buy some old Chicago instead!

1 out of 5 stars Different altogether!.......2005-01-07

This sucks! Okay, I guess I should say more, but I won't. I love Chicago and even Cetera and Champlin's solo work. But this sucks! I will never, ever listen to it again. I normally write more thorough reviews, but I will only put as much thought into my review as Robert put into this pathetic effort. Come to think of it, I AM out of clay targets.

5 out of 5 stars He's Still Got The Passion.......2002-06-28

Okay, so Chicago have been resting on their laurels for over a decade now, and the thought of them ever releasing an album of new material again seems destined to be unfulfilled. (Prove me wrong - please!)

What makes that a double tragedy is the fact that Robert Lamm - always one of Chicago's most talented members, has rediscovered his immense songwriting talents, as this album demonstrates on all but two tracks. (One of them being a song he didn't write!).

It IS a shame that the version of "Watching The Time Go By" is not half as good as that found on the Beckley-Lamm-Wilson album, but it's still a great song, and the harmonies are fantastic. Robert's voice still has great feeling and warmth, but he can also use it in a manner reminiscent of Don Henley's "Dirty Laundry" style (Witness "Sacrificial Culture" as the best example here). My personal favourites come in the albums second half, namely "Sacha", "The Love Of My Life" and "Standing At Your Door".

And, in an example of a typical Lamm paradox, the worst thing about this CD is "The Best Thing".
