Great Music!
Not a filler anywhere on this album. This is one of those wonderful albums that you can listen to all the way through from beginning to end. You know you've got a gem when that happens. John Waite has a great voice and a wonderful ability for story telling in his music and this is one of his best albums!.
Great album from beginning to end
This has to be one of my favorite albums he has done. I have been a John Waite fan before most even knew who he was. Downtown, More, Glittering Prize are all first rate tracks. A very introspective album. I LOVE IT! If you even remotely like Waite, this is a must have. .
John Waite's best solo album so far... (An Aussie's opinion)
It would be really hard to pick my favourite JW song but this album is definitely my favourite. Being in the 40-something age bracket, I've liked John Waite since his days with The Babys but really only grew to LOVE him in the 80's when he went solo with "missing you". Being an Aussie, I have to order all my JW music via the internet and I envy you guys in the US. Some day I plan to get there just to see the amazing JW in real life. My favourite song on this CD would be "Price of my Tears" but there's so many brilliant songs on this CD. It's hard to describe the effect his voice has on me but it's like being taken to a different place. No one else has that effect on me! As our Aussie 'Molly' Meldrum says, "Do yourself a favour" and buy this CD!. . . and try all the others while you're at it!! There will never be anyone who moves me like John Waite.

Beautifully crafted album
This is my favorite solo album by far. I've been a fan of John Waite for a long time. And as usual, artists reveal their greatest works from the pits of emotional despair. John is no exception. "Downtown", "Price of My Tears", "The Glittering Prize" reveal some of this despair. I am also very impressed with how he took a classic song like Bill Withers' "Aint no Sunshine when She's Gone" and made it his own. What a beautiful cover version. I even like the cover of "I'm SO Lonesome I could Cry" by Hank Williams. Just John's voice and a Dobro. When John teams up with the likes of Glen Burtnik and Mark Spiro, he can't make a bad song. If this album were vinyl, I would have worn a groove in it long ago. Very classy. Excellent album start to finish. And you can't say that about many albums these days.
John Waite Temple Bar
This CD is simply AWESOME! There isn't a bad song on it, this is definately John Waite at his best. I can't tell you how happy I was to finally find Temple Bar!!! I haven't stopped listening to this CD! It's a shame that the record company at the time didn't promote it properly.
