You like mojo better than dawn patrol????

Yes, Mojo has a good vibe to it, Dawn just seems to wander. Off Dawn I like Eddie, Don't tell me, and Call my Name, rest of the cd is really bad. Dawn is the only NR cd that hasn't got up on down as the years go by. I have never really cared for it-ERIC

Yeah, I'm not with you on that one either. I think DAWN PATROL is much better than MOJO...and only giving MIDNITE MADNESS a B+? I disagree...I think it's their best work! Not a bad song on that album! And for 1983, I think the production was pretty fantasticI would rank 7 WISHES at a very close #2 (probably an A-)

I really think Midnight Madness is probably better than 7 wishes, but the production on it is pretty bad. If they ever do a remaster series on it, it will be ranked at one. But IMO, even for that time Midnight Madness is still shotty in the production area, at time for me, making it hard to listen to. What I am surprised at is no one has said anything anout the new cd being king of the hill. I think it is that good.-ERIC

Well, I damn sure like what I've heard of it so far! VERY cool, modern sounding album, without sacrificing the classic sound.
