Well then...I'll start...

I think it's a pretty darn good album, especially considering that it's from 1979 and their first. I do think that the Japanese release with Rebel Girl makes it an even much better listen.

As for this album, it's gem to me is "Nothing Can Shake Me", which is one of my all-time favorite Survivor songs.

"Somewhere In America" is also classic Survivor an the strength of those two alone make it a solid album.

I believe "Youngblood" was the precursor to Eye of the Tiger and the harmony on "Whoe Town's Talkin" is nice....

Overall it's a good listen and a rockin' album that is reminisent of its era of 70's guitar rock.

"Somewhere in America" isn't my favorite toon on this album but still a good one. "Can't getcha offa my mind" has gotta groovy beat, like this one alot, like Dave's vocals on this one. Love the driving beat of "Let it be Now", again, love the vocals on this one. One of my favs. "As soon as love finds me" is a cool song, great harmonies. How can you resist the lyrics for "20/20"? Fun song. "Nothin can Shake me" is one of their greatest, love how this song builds. Very sexy song.

This album really shows off Dave's vocals. Full of harmonies, a very good debut album and must have for any Survivor fan.

On Jimi's site it says he is scheduled tomorrow between 11:40 and 12:00 noon to be on WHBQ Radio Sports, it says you can listen live on the site.
