| カスタマーレビュー: styx rocks (2008-10-05) What can I say I'm just a Tommy Shaw Fan. This album matches (in my mind) Tommy's first release.
'80s pop rock obscure gem (2008-09-08) This is my favorite of all the Tommy Shaw solo albums. I remember looking for this in 1988, the year after it came out, and it was already in the bargain bin. I scooped it up then and was glad I did, as it disappeared for good soon after that. I'm glad to see it's available now for others to buy and enjoy.This is an awesome, vintage 1980s melodic pop/rock album. To me, every single track shines. For sure "No Such Thing" is a great rocker to open the album, as is the title track at track 4. "Dangerous Game" has a soaring, anthemic melodic quality to it that can't be beat. "Ever Since The World Began" is a remake of the Survivor song that appears on the "Eye Of the Tiger" album, and it is as hearfelt and brilliant a performance as the original. "Somewhere in the Night" is another soaring melodic anthem in the second half of the album, and "Lay Them Down" as the closing track is also beautifully thick with melodies. If you are a fan of '80s melodic pop/rock, you owe it to yourself to pick up this underrated gem of an album. Back when this came out, I was buying a lot of popular albums with singles that got a lot of airplay, as that was the music that defined my youth. That being said, I'm glad I didn't let this one slip by me despite its lack of high charting singles. Note that this was the last Tommy solo album before the brilliant supergroup Damn Yankees was formed. It's certainly not as heavy throughout as the DY material is, but melodically it was surely a sign of things to come. ARE YOU READY FOR ME... (2008-03-05) Are you ready for some balls to the wall rock and roll If you answered yes, then you must buy this album.Tommy Shaw's third solo album was quite a departure from his previous A&M releases (of which WHAT IF is my all time favorite album.) AMBITION is just that, raw energy, intensity and direction. Terry Thomas may have over-produced the end result, but such could hardly be criticized for such a fantastic piece of rock and roll. SOMEWHERE IN THE NIGHT and ARE YOU READY FOR ME are two of my favorite Shaw-penned anthems while his incredibly soulful EVER SINCE THE WORLD BEGAN exemplifies everything that is amazing about music. (Note: the song was written by Jim Peterik instead of Tommy.) Tommy once remarked to me that he was "very messed up back then" as he wrote and recorded AMBITION and he soon there after found himself in rehabilitation and struggling with his musical future. Tommy joined forces with Ted Nugent for two splendid records but (while both DAMN YANKEES and DON'T TREAD may have better some better Tommy Shaw tunes) neither ever came close to rocking as hard or as rebellious as AMBITION. Once again Tommy wrote with hints of semi-autobiographical introspection but for the one and only time in his career, the base of the songs are stories and tales. One could have a fabulous ride just trying to decipher which songs were taken from his life in 1987 and which were not... but such evaluation would distract the listener from a great collection of tunes. All you need is... AMBITION. Great Album (2007-10-22) I've always been a Tommy Shaw/Styx fan, and I actually bought the original issue of this CD from a bargain bin for $1.99. I also saw the supporting tour as an opening act for Rush. This album rocks from start to finish. Great vocals, guitar, and songwriting. Highlights are Somewhere in the Night, Dangerous Game, and The Outsider. If you like Tommy Shaw, buy this album. It was out of print for years and is well worth the price.
FINALLY!!!! (2007-09-22) If you only own one Tommy Shaw CD, this should be it. The title track, "Somewhere in the Night," and "No Such Thing" are the standout songs here, though they are all good. After leaving Styx in 1983 and before joining Damn Yankees in 1990, this 1987 solo effort (his 4th in as many years) finds Shaw in top songwriting form. CDs weren't really mainstream yet in 1987 and this title was never reissued (until now, 20 years later) so original issue CD copies of this are VERY rare. I have one, though I won't tell you how much I paid for it. Buy "Ambition" now! It's a piece of Rock history and Tommy Shaw's best solo album.
