Album Review
As soon as REO Speedwagon's second album — aptly titled T.W.O. — kicks off with "Let Me Ride," it's clear that the band has made some significant strides in gaining a personality. Part of this is due to singer Terry Luttrell being swapped out for Kevin Cronin, whose keening tenor is markedly different from Luttrell's bluesy gargle, and part is due to three of the songs, dramatic multi-sectioned rockers, being more distinguished than the pedestrian boogie of the debut. That boogie hasn't been abandoned — the group takes the swing out of Chuck Berry's "Little Queenie," which brings it closer to the anonymous thud that characterizes Gary Richrath's "Flash Tan Queen," along with much of the rest of the album. Although REO don't always succeed when opening up their music — "Being Kind (Can Hurt Someone Sometimes)" winds up getting stuck in the murk — Cronin's two side-openers of "Let Me Ride" and "Music Man" point the way toward the group's classic sound.
Customer Reviews
One of REO's Finest
Back when REO was still a straight-ahead Hard Rock outfit, they released this baby. This is some of the most fantastic stuff that this band ever released. "How The Story Goes" and "Like You Do" rule, as does "Being Kind...". I just want to know what fool listed this as "Pop?" Hi Infidelity forward could be argued to be pop, but this, my friends is true blue Rock and Roll!
Good, But...
We definitely need more REO.
The best
Ladies and gentlemen.....yes REO Speedwagon sold more albums later in their career but this album is by far and away their very best. There is no filler or syrupy love songs like the ones that came later, all these songs rock. Do yourself a favor and just download the whole album...you will not regret it.
