Not the same band

"This CD was shockingly bad. It doesn't have a single thing in common with the 1984-85 Power Station. None of the songs are catchy at all. If it wasn't for Robert Palmer's voice, I'd swear this was a different band. I have no clue what type of sound they were going for. There's no power pop, no kick *ss drumming, there's dumb lyrics, and boring guitar work. Terrible."

They Can Rock It!

"The 2nd offering from The Power Station is, in a way, a continuance of the first alum and a radical departure at the same time. The Taylors can still play, and the ,Late GREAT Robert Palmer is in fine form(as always). No other Rock singer has EVER used thier vocabulary in the way RP does. With phrases like FEIGN indifference, Quid Pro Quo, and Coitus Interruptus, he's definitely reppin' his education= Good on ya, mate!



I also find the lyrics to be very poignant- Life forces has a line "Just When You Think You've got a grip on your future, Destiny changes your plan. There is big-time diversity on this album too- From hard rockers like She Can Rock It and Living in Fear to the Dance/disco beat of "I'll Fancy That" to a real Love song in "Love Conquers All" and the already mentioned "Life Forces".



Bottom Line- If you like Duran Duran, 80s Rock, he first Power Station album, Robert Palmer's solo stuff, more modern sounding music(digital quality, great mix) or any combination of the above you'll LOVE THIS ALBUM. This is a great album that got no air time on FM and sold poorly in stores. Pick it up in the reduced bin or on ebay- You won't be sorry.

Carson's Power Station: Living In Fear w/ bonus tracks, Impo

"This album happens to be one that not too many people know exist's, unless you are a die hard Duran Duran fan, or John Taylor fan, or an Andy Taylor fan, or an Arcadia fan, or a TRUE Power Station fan. This album is very entertaining and has a few bonus tracks that are NOT found on the original album. For the most part you can ONLY purchase this album from Asian countries. Unfortunately, I would have to say that it is NOT worth paying OVER $25.00 altogether UNLESS you are a true die hard fan of one of the above or ALL of the above. Hope this review helps. Peace."
