As good or better than any Mitchell effort ever!

"I go all the way back to " Toronto Tontos" days and 'Ain't Life Amazin' rates right up there with the best Max Webster efforts. Of particular note are "I Got A Line"' a harder-driving remake of the Spirit classic; "Space", the tortured lament of a controlled ex-loner; and "Lick a Message", the song most resembling old Max Webster. Some good lyrics and Mitchell's signature guitar efforts and PLENTY of them. There really is not a bad song on the album. If you are a Kim Mitchell fan, an absolute must-have. If you aren't that familiar with Mitchell/Max Webster but you like good-time, unpretentious, sometimes even silly Rock n Roll, "Check, Check, Check this out!""

5 stars says it all

"I've been holding off on reviewing this on Amazon because the other reviewer pretty much said everything I wanted to say (and said it better). I would very much agree this is right up as one of his all-time best releases. I would only place it second behind Universal Juveniles by Max Webster (which is essentially Kim). For those who are fans of Kim Mitchell, and I can't imagine anyone reading this if they are not, this is by far his best solo effort ever and light years beyond his 1992/97 releases; Itch and Kimosabe. Enjoy."
