CD Reviews

A-M-A-Z-I-N-G
Oscar Barreda Cuneo | Tacna, -- Peru | 08/25/2004
(5 out of 5 stars)

"This work is amazing ***** (five stars). When I heard "Calling All Stations" from Genesis where Ray made the vocals it made me remind the old and great Genesis with Peter Gabriel. I still don't understand why it was the last Genesis work. Even though Ray is on the road making REAL ROCK in these commercial days. If you never heard about Ray Wilson but like rock try without hesitation."
Ray's Best Thing

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This CD is great. Fantastic songwriting and performance. Ray is a brilliant talent and I thank Genesis for turning me on to his incredible voice. This CD is a great follow-up to "Change" and one of the best new releases out there. I was lucky enough to get an autographed copy! Pick this one up for sure!"
This guy is a great talent!

(4 out of 5 stars)

"Ray Wilson continues to shine in his solo career. Unfortunately, he also continues to try the softer ballads, which is okay on occassion, but this new CD features quite a few. Ray's voice is pure rock, and is better utilized in much heavier tunes, as evidenced by this CD's version of the Stiltskin hit, "Inside," which kicks some major butt. This CD is Ray doing a bit of it all, including the progressive rock touches he's aquired. The only reason this gets 4 stars instead of 5 is because I selfishly want Ray to do more hard rock.



With each solo project, it more and more perplexing as to why the band Genesis didn't utilize Ray's talents more. Ray is the real deal. This CD coupled with 2003's Change will be an excellent addition to your music collections."
