Great Richard Marx
I've listened to it many many times over the years. I was hooked on this cd the very first time I heard it. I actually had to buy another copy because I wore the first one out. The very first track catches you and pulls you in. .


Album master of soul-rock
All albums from Richard are excellents, this album is on soul ambient, like "keep coming back" style, the first track begins with one excellent orchestra from his father, and is impossible begins one album from better way, the second is with collaboration of the true brain and frontman to Earth Wind & Fire. . Maurice White, the 5th track, is one finest ballad, with great guitars from Bruce Gaitsch, more later author of one of the best albums in my life "king of hearts" and one of the best final solo guitar that I've ever heard in the song "king of hearts", and Luther Vandross (God bless) on chorus. The album continues in good line, and the song duet with Lara Fabian is more better that original Robin Zander and Nancy Wilson's. Great version too on Stevie Wonder's "too shy to say" but Randy Jackson on drums? The Tubes track "talk to ya later" count with two of the best group ever, Toto, Steve Lukather and Simon Phillips, and last but not least, BREATHLESS, BREATHLESS, BREATHLESS, ¡¡¡what track!!!what pleasure song, Richard is incredible in this song, the musicians are perfects, this remember me to Kenny Loggins's "love will follow", is one of the songs that no all the humans understands, but I like fan eternity to Richard, always sounds in my CD player. Sorry my bad english.


Disappointing
I listen to his music and reminisc. I am a very big Richard Marx fan, he goes sinonimous with my late teens and early 20's. He is lyrically the best singer and writer in my book. This cd though disappointed me. I was not impressed by any of the tracks and non of them left an impression. The music seemed to drown out his voice, which is by far every fans favorite. I dont regret the purchase since I have everyone of his CDs and will continue to buy others he releases. It really boggles my mind why he gave away the song "This I promise you" to N'sync, they did not do it justice. I am awaiting Days in Avalon, I am anxious to hear Richard on the vocals. .


5 stars all the way
Bad songs become hits and some brilliant albums are out of print. The music business is funny. I picked this album up somewhere for about $3 somewhere because I was curious. It turned out this album is about as close to a perfect album as you can get. There are 2 mediocre songs on here (You Never Take Me Dancing + Breathless). The rest is outstanding. "Fool's Game" and "Can't Lie To My Heart" are 2 of the most beautiful songs ever and would have been mega hits with the right marketing. First class songwriting. At the time this album dropped, Richard wasn't so popular anymore and it was widely ignored. A popular artist would have had a world wide hit with this album. All songs, except the 2 mentioned above, have great hooks and are excellently produced .


A Bit of Lax Work
To be honest I feel Richard's passion from this work but it seems the Richard has entered into the wrong territory. Richard Marx, one of the greatest songwriters on earth released this one in 1997 but unfortunately it didin't bore huge hits like previous works. Maybe Michael Bolton or Bryan Adams will do more using the same material. UNTIL I FIND YOU AGAIN is no doubt the best track from this album and it became a minor hit and TOUCH OF HEAVEN is as great as this. Catchy rocker EVERY DAY OF YOUR LIFE is another single release candidate. MY CONFESSION is the most memorable track and ETERNITY might fit well into recent work MY OWN BEST ENEMY. Since this release Richard became the songwriters for someone else's work and THIS I PROMISE YOU became huge by boys band N'SYNC in 2000. And he won the 2004 grammy by Luther Vandross work. In retrospect Flesh and Bones is sort of transitional work from Richard's youthful rock and power ballad prince to AAA songwriter Richard.

Recommended if you like his recent work MY OWN BEST ENEMY. .
