I can't beleive the reviews I'm reading. This is a massive peice of trash. It's like a time capsule of a pre-disco demo tape without the disco. I'm a huge S. Nicks fan; so I feel embarassed for her. Must have been a pre-treatment project. A little too much white stuff and a bloated sense of "I'm Stevie Nicks and I can't do anything that isn't a classic." Pure puke. Don't waste your money..Be warned

This album is one of my favorite of Stevie's...Belladonna has better songs and Wild Heart is euphoric in its intentions...but this album was a summer staple on sun-kissed afternoons at the beach and cruising on balmy summer nights down the boulevard,being 18 and carefree... If I were you is my fave,Talk to me and I can't wait are a close tie for second but whole album minus The Nightmare(still HATE this song)rates as terrific (especially given the coke addled time in Stevie's precious life).This album would get five stars if both Reconsider Me and Thousand Days were included as planned and I would love to hear the first album of "dark" songs recorded for this album but ultimately shelved for this group of very good songs. If you weren't around when this was first released,I'm sorry but try it now and let it's charms enchant you today!

The two hit singles, Talk to Me and I Can't Wait, are mid-80s synthesizer pop-rock. She sings energetically but the stuff sounds very dated now. The only song I really liked on this one was "Imperial Hotel" - a spirited rocker with full band (several of Tom Petty's Heartbreakers), sounds great, including Stevie's voice. They should have done five more like that!!! "I Sing For the Things" is very tender and acoustic-romantic - her soft voice sounds damaged, like it's about to collapse, and yet this adds to the vulnerable feel of the song. But elsewhere, yeah, synthesizers take over, she's lost in a haze on the title track, and in general her songwriting is not strong here. 'The Nightmare' is bad, a half-incoherent train of recycled Stevie lyrics and loud chug-chug synth rock to back it up. Exception: the lovely "Has Anyone Ever..." but you can get that on TimeSpace and on the Box set.

Though I've been a Stevie fan since I was a teen, I seriously dislike this album. I'm well aware that synthesizers were used on Stevie albums released prior to 'Rock a Little,' but the synthesized sound is really overbearing on most of the tunes on this album. This effect makes the entire album (aside from 'Has Anyone Ever Written Anything for You') sound just too "Eighties pop." There's not much on here that is reminiscent of the well-loved Bella Donna era. Only a die-hard Stevie fanatic can bear to listen to this one.

I'ts time. Please re-release and digitally remaster this album in 2012!!! Plus all of Stevie's other solo albums.. She's a great artist and a great song writer, she just keeps on inspiring us in many different ways.I love your work Stevie...Scott xx

Fantastic, Stevie Nicks at her best. This is possibly her best album. Imperial Hotel is my favourite. She Rocks.
