Last Meaningful Release

The Survivor of 'Eye of the Tiger' had long since passed by the time Too Hot To Sleep was released. Jimi Jameson and Frank Sullivan along with Jim Peterik are all that's left for this, their last mainstream album. Sales were steadily diminishing with each subsequent album and this one followed that pattern. It wasn't all Survivor's fault as their albums remained well-crafted and polished but sales of MOR rock was falling off with the maturing of the 70's and 80's generations giving way to hip-hop and rap. The stronger cuts on this release include Desparate Dreams and Didn't Know It Was Love. The album followed a fairly common formula for Survivor in that it included their up-beat hopeful hit right in cut 1 and then we get alternating harder cuts and ballads. I'm glad to see their work make it to iTunes as they chronicle a good band from the 80's that was mixed with guitars and keyboards and strong vocals and harmonies. While they were never the band of the decade, they were certainly worth the listen.

Too Hot to HANDLE!!

This album kind of sticks out like a sore thumb in the Survivor catalog, but that's a good thing right? Yes!! Some great song writing and great songs came out of this record, with songs like Desparate Dreams, Too Hot to Sleep, and Didn't Know it was Love. My favorite off this record is Across the Miles, a song that should have gotten more airplay when the record was released. It's sad that this album would be the last one until 2006's Reach. It was a nice send off and it is one for the ages.

Survivor was founded in 1978 by guitarist/keyboardist Jim Peterik, formerly the lead singer of the Ides of March, and guitarist Frankie Sullivan; the two recruited lead singer Dave Bickler and recorded a self-titled debut album as a trio with studio musicians Dennis Johnson on bass and...
