Search - Shooting Star :: Silent Scream

Shooting Star's poofy hair phase

William J. Eichelberger | Ft. Thomas, KY | 03/09/2004

(3 out of 5 stars)

"This cd starts off strong with Summer Sun, Somewhere In Your Heart and Heat Of The Night, but soon lapses into tired sounding filler. Summer Sun was one of the great "shouldabeen" songs of the summer of 1985, but despite occasional airplay, it never really caught on. Too bad. Maybe with a hit Gary West would have chosen to stay with the band. Now all we have is Shooting Star part II, a pale and poor substitute. This one is worth it if you find it cheap because the first three songs make a great addition to a career retrospective, plus there is the addition of the previously unreleased songs from the "Up The Creek" soundtrack. Get Ready Boy isn't great, but it was a pretty decent soundtrack song.
(Oh yeah, and for a laugh, check out the band picture on the back cover. Can any of you honestly say that this was a good look?)"
