Rating: - Great songs, mediocre procuction, visions of what would come
All songs on this album are very good, but the album is mediocrely produced. Hearing that this album was their poorest seller doesn't surprise me, based on my own experience with REO at the time. I had bought REO Two which was a great album. I bought the next 3 albums which got progressively worse, to almost bad. Kronin and the band parted ways and Mike Murphy couldn't sing and the songs were not very good. So when this album came out, even seeing that Kevin was back, I did not buy it. I only first heard these songs when 4 of them were included on the "You Get What You Play For" live album. I then bought this album and thought the other songs were very good too. Some songs have a little bit of county rock sound to them such as "Any Kind Of Love", "Summer Love", "Breakaway" and "Tonight". On this album REO introduced a new ingredient that they needed to make future big hits: nice harmony vocals. ... Read More

This item in the review was just what I expect it to be. This is an awesome item to purchase. Thank you Amazon.

Released in 1976, and with the return of Kevin, you can hear the brilliance that was to follow. Every song is solid. It is a shame that the sound quality is so poor, and as others have said, even flatter then the vinyl version (I wish mine was in better condition). Had the sound quality been that of say Hotel California, it would have gotten much more airplay. For some reason Gary's instrumental Flying Turkey Trot seems to have better sound then the rest. So who stepped into the engineering room when that was done? So then it looses a star just because of the sound quality.
Rating: - Kevin returns!
In 1976 Mike Murphy was booted out, and Kevin Cronin rejoined Reo Speedwagon. R.E.O. or C.O.W. as some like to call it, is one of Reo's most solid early efforts. The tape opens with one of Reo's best rockers Keep Pushin'and it pretty much keeps rockin through until the end. Buy the time this album had came out the members of Reo where becoming very good songwriters. This is a great album for all REO fans.
