The seventh album from the project and one of the most commercially successful due to the single Don't Answer Me which is my favorite here. Lovin' the sax riff on that. Nothing like some good sax early in the morning. Four vocalists taking the lead here with group co-founder Eric Woolfson getting the nod for the most. He's no doubt the best. The other notable vocalist for me is former Zombie Colin Blunstone. Not the groups best effort for me, but with 3 top rated tracks, certainly worth having. The album reached #15 in the U.S. and #24 in the U.K.
I LIKE THIS ALBUM
Worst Track - Pipeline
Best Track - Don't Answer Me
If you believe in the power of magic
I can change your mind
And if you need to belive in someone
Turn and look behind
When we were living in a dream world
Clouds got in the way
We gave it up in a moment of madness
And threw it all away
Don't answer me, don't break the silence
Don't let me win
Don't answer me, stay on your island
Don't let me in
Run away and hide from everyone...
Can you change the things we've said and done?
If you belive in the power of magic
It's all a fantasy
So if you need to belive in someone
Just pretend it's me
It ain't enough that we meet as strangers
I can't set you free
So will you turn your back forever
On what you mean to me?
Don't answer me, don't break the silence
Don't let me win
Don't answer me, stay on you island
Don't let me in
Run away and hide from everyone...
Can you change the things we've said and done?
Don't answer me, don't break the silence
Don't let me win
Don't answer me, stay on your island
Don't let me in
Run away and hide from everyone...
Don't answer me, don't break the silence
Don't let me win
Don't answer me, stay on your island
Don't let me in
Can you change the things we've said and done?
Don't answer me, don't break the silence
Don't let me win
Don't answer me, stay on your island
Don't let me in...
