Customer Reviews

"Ooh Yeah!" says it all.
Usually Daryl & John's ballads are the biggest sellers, so it's no surprise that "Everything Your Heart Desires" hit the Top 5 on Billboard.

This album may lean on the techno-side a bit much for some people's taste but hey, you'll like it...

Best tracks are "Everything Your Heart Desires", "Missed Opportunity", "Downtown Life", "Talking All Night" (Which are all available as 12" extended remixes), and "I'm In Pieces". You'll love "Real Love", "Rocket To God" and "Soul Love" too.

I would bump my rating up to 5 stars if this album didn't sound so 'perfect'... But as usual, there's something for every fan of great music from the best in the business right here.

My favorite Hall and Oates Album
I got this CD for a birthday present. I never played it untill months later. What a great gift this turned out to be. "Everything you heart Desires," was a top ten hit,but my favorite song is "Rockability," were Daryl and John trade vocals in all kinds of directions. I love both of there voices,but John Oates has a great bass vocal. When I play a CD,sometimes I skip a song or two.In this Album,there's not one song I don't want to hear. You won't be dissapointed buying this record.

should be given the reissue treatment like the RCA years
Considering this is the ONLY album left over from Hall & Oates 80s catalog of top 10 producing albums, it's a shame that this CD was not treated to bonus tracks. Like others, I have been surprised to discover just how good this album is--I never listened to it in the 80s because the lead single "Everything Your Heart Desires" didn't have the hard edge of tracks like Maneater, Family Man, Adult Education or Out of Touch, so I was convinced the band had totally caved in to the weak R&B sounds that were being produced at that time (think Keith Sweat, Gregory Abbott, etc).

I'm amazed to discover harder rock tracks like Rockability and the totally funkin Downtown life, which reminds me of the alternative band APB's single "When I Feel This Way". In retrospect, this album's lack of saturation in the market makes it the real collector's gem of the Hall & Oates 80s catalog. Which makes the 12" versions released from this album even more hot property. One mix each of "Everything Your Heart Desires(54th street mix)", "Downtown(downtown mix)", and "Missed Opportunity(unlimited mix)" appeared on volumes one and two of the Hall & Oates 12 Inch Collection CDs, but they should have been offered here as well, along with the second major remixes issued on the 12" singles of "Everything Your Heart Desires(if you want the world mix)" and "Missed Opportunity(Smooth mix)" AND the Jellybean remix of "Talking All Night"! At this point, I just don't see such a reissue being done, since when fans think of Hall & Oates 80s music, this album doesn't even show up on their radar.
