5 out of 5 stars Private Eyes for public ears.......2005-04-22

After 1979,Daryl Hall & John Oates were dropped from the Atlantic label and landed a contract with RCA. This is the second of five RCA albums. H&O put out one album a year on RCA from 1980 to 1984. Here on this album released in 1981,are the hits DID IT IN A MINUTE,YOUR IMAGINATION,I CAN'T GO FOR THAT and of course,the title track. The other songs are great.

5 out of 5 stars In my opinion, in their top 5........2004-03-03

This was the album that started it all for me. I bought this in about, January 2003, yeah I know I got in really late. I loved Private Eyes the song for a long time, and was eventually driven to buy this. Private Eyes is of course, an unbelieveabley good song, but what really stood out for me was the ones I've never heard of before. Like Looking For a Good Sign, Head Above Water, and the biggest suprise of all, Did It In A Minute. I was stupified by how good the song was, everything in it, from the melody to the lyrics, are just perfect to me. The whole album is so good, it really is hard to describe.

3 out of 5 stars Big Hit, Uneven Album.......2003-04-08

Hall and Oates were, first and foremost, a singles band whose studio albums were often of secondary importance. The one exception was 1980's "Voices," which contained several excellent tracks beyond the obvious hits. With 1981's "Private Eyes," however, it was back to business as usual. The title song was the biggest hit on this album and one of the duo's all time best. Up against ... contempraries such as Duran Duran and Culture Club, it was a breath of fresh air on the radio at the time.

"I Can't Go for That" was also a big hit, while "Did it in a Minute" and "Your Imagination" (deservedly) scored some airplay as well. Beyond that is mostly filler material recommended only for diehard H&O fans. It should also be noted that the CD for this album contains no CD booklet, only a single page that repeats the back cover.

Overall, an unveven period piece that has more than its fair share of decent singles.

1 out of 5 stars Sound quality sinks this CD.......2003-01-24

This album is one of H&O's best, with smooth Motown harmonies and lots of bracing G.E. smith guitar licks. Unfortunately, the archaic mastering of the CD leaves the sound lifeless and listless. This album desperately needs remastering and only once that's done will it be worth buying. Meanwhile, hunt down a vinyl copy.
